2002 odometer/temp/compass display

Having trouble with display brightness coming and going. It's normal then goes dim. Anyone else experienced this problem?

The display will dim during the daytime if it's dark enough for the automatic headlights to come on, if you have that option. wth

I have that option but this happens in bright sunlight.

I drive with my lights on and the instrument planel dimmer in the low setting. Periodically the "Computer Message Center" (odometer/MPG/Trip/compass display) will flash bright then revert to the low setting. Ford has replaced the dimmer, Computer Message Center. I'm thinking I have wire that is pinched or chaffing and it periodically grounds, or I have a crack in the computer circuit board that feeds the Message Center.

Thoughts???
