Electrical Fault?

I have had my car for 6 days now, and am very very happy with it apart from one minor thing that occured on my drive in to work this morning, the LED display that shows the clock/radio digits etc is normally a very bright red/orange colour, for some unknown reason it faded to a very dull orange colour, the back light had totallt gone. By simply tapping the dash by the open button for the sat nav seemed to have fixed it, never the less it will be going back to the dealership for repair
Has anbody else had this or a similer problem?. P.S. For those that want to know, once the alarm has been set, there is a red flasher - it is situated in the rev countor dial.

All the lighting (dash, info panel etc) is controlled by the fader to the bottom right of the steering wheel.

Has 2 options :
Clicked to the top , dials are bright white.
Not all the way 'up' with lights on, it turns the dials red and dims all the lights.

Could be a fault with that.

Rob,

The dial fader was the first thing I checked, did not make no difference what so ever. The whole dash is fine apart from the clock/radio display unit. As I said above, by simply tapping above the unit seems to cure the problem, must be a dodgy connection somewhere. Will let the forum know the outcome after a visit to the dealer on Saturday.

I am having problems with my display lighting up where you can not read it and by tapping dash it clears up for awhile then messes up again plus my clock can not be set no matter what I try. Very frustrated about how to fix it. I just got the car last week. Everything else is awesome. Anyone know of what to do or had the same issue. Your input is appreciated.
