Perhaps is it the common AU problem where the LCD fades on the trip computer / climate control unit? Mine is beginning to do that now on the trip computer. You can swap them with other Fairmonts / Fairlanes but I think the different series have different coloured backlights?
You can get them from eBay also from time to time and there's a guy on the web somewhere in Victoria who will take it and send you back a refurbished unit. I don't know the website address.

This is a a common issue with AUs I recently replaced mine, the web address you need is http://www.geocities.com/liquidxtal/index.html
This guy is terrific to deal with and can supply you with a loan unit until yours is repaired |
