Default speedometer back light - HELP

Hi gang --

need some input ... my backlight on my 2013 fatboy lo speedo keeps going on and off intermittantly... this has already been replaced once within the first 3 months i had it.. has anyone had this issue --

trying to figure out if its a loose connection, bad ignition switch, of just another bad speedo --

my dealer is giving me a hard time about it -- saying if he does not see it happen then he cant do much to proove his case to harley to be covered under the first 2 yr warranty ..

can you believe this ****...

My Heritage is back at the Dealership today. I called them at 5.30 tonight and they still couldn't find anything wrong despite codes. Getting pissed off.

It sounds like a ground problem somewhere if it's intermittent. That crap never seems to act up when your trying to show someone though, sucks for sure.
