Have you tried adjusting the instrument brightness control on the dashboard?

Yes but I did noticed when I accidentally kicked the area where dimness is controlled it came back on. Then at times it would go off again.

If you bumped the area and it came on then goes off it is either a loose connection or a faulty control unit.
