Default instrument panel display glows orange

I noticed last might that after I turn off the engine and wait for all lights to go out that the two displays glow orange. This is faint and I would not notice it unless it was dark outside. Is this normal?

Thanks. I will keep watching for crazy things. Today after starting I could not get the windows to lower by pushing the switch. I then turned off and restarted the engine and the windows have worked just fine all day.

Mine glows except I wouldn't even call it faint. I can see it quit clearly every night because I work third shift and 90% of my driving is at night.

Wow this exact same thing happened to me today. I cranked up.. hit both switches dow with two fingers and nothing. then tried one switch at a time down and nothing.. Then I turned the car off turned it back on and everything worked right.. I actually pushed my cigarette lighter in on the first try to se if some fuse might be blown or something no lights or anything else to my knowledge was not working. But again turned it off and back on and windows worked fine

Welcome to the world of JK's ... The infamous power window bug strikes again it happens to a lot of us, it's infrequent and always resets when you turn the key off/on
