    So I have a 2009 challenger v6 and it's been sitting for maybe a month everything worked fine when parked I just hopped back in it today and the odometer is EXTREMELY hard to see like dim as heck I basically have to kiss the steering wheel to see it but everything else is nice and bright like gear indicator and tire sensor light (I replaced the wheel but not the sensor so it always reads low) and the speedometer works fine what could that mean and how would I go about fixing the brightness?

    The replacement of an instrument cluster, by a dealer, is very expensive. You can save hundreds of dollars by having your existing cluster repaired.

    When you repair your original instrument cluster panel, it will not need to be coded to your vehicle VIN, since it is still the original cluster, and repairs will not change the odometer reading. There are a few companies that provide this service. One of them is UpFix. It actually uses new parts that are better than the originals. The cost is $249.

    I have been sending all of my repairs to a company in New York for several years now there back in a week.
