: the contact stated while driving various speeds at night, the instrument cluster panel lights failed to illuminate without warning. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the inner dash panel light that illuminated the instrument panel had shorted out and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was alerted.
