One dash light doesnt work sometimes

My right side of my instrument panel doesn't work sometimes usually after I accidentally touch the brightness setting or something like that then it will come back after you drive with them on for a while any idea what it might be?

Bulb could be going bad. My last truck did that. It would come back if I beat the dash. Finally one day it just wouldn't come back on.

Pretty sure you gotta pull the dash to get the cluster out. But I know some guys on here have it down to like a 5 min job.

Oh and I never replaced it. Never cared enough lol. Sold the whole dang truck. The bulb burning out was the final straw lol only kidding.

This would be a good time to change the color if that mod has ever crossed your mind.

You don't have to pull the whole dash. There are two screws above the cluster, remove those and pull out the trim piece. Then there are four screws that hold the cluster in. Take those out and pull the cluster out to where you can get to the back, then unscrew the bulb retainers and replace the bulb.
