'02 Explorer XLS odometer LCD dim - HELP

I just bought an '02 Explorer XLS this past Saturday. I am new to Ford products as far as ownership goes. The odometer LCD display is really dim. I have tried using the dimmer switch but that doesn't change the brightness. If I turn on the headlights, it is even dimmer and almost impossible to read. Any ideas on what's wrong, or how to fix it?

Thanks!

I haven't a clue. But LCD uses ambient light or a light source from somewhere, so there must be a bulb in there. Of course you will probably have to take the dash out to investigate, and that is never much fun.
