    Went to start my car tonight after I got off work and MID display was completely dark, turned off the car and started it again, the MID came back turned on headlights went off again.
    So now every time I turn on head lights the MId goes dark as do my lights for the heater and radio controls. Any one experienced this? I attached pics with lights on and with them off. Going to schedule a appointment with the dealer today. IMG_0203.JPG IMG_0202.JPG

    You may be able to edit your post's title. Have you tried turning the dimmer adjustment knob/wheel?

    Yup. Happened to me a couple of times. I have it set on the lowest setting at the cusp of being all the way off. I don't recall brushing my knee there but I felt like an idiot. I almost took the car to the dealer.

    You could have bumped it with your knee, or rolled it down accidentally when cleaning. It is not hard to do.
