Anyone have any idea what might be going on? Is it a cheap fix? Will the problem get progressively worse until one day I start the car and the display is totally blank?

Thanks for any advice.
It's a very common problem in these vehicles. Here are a couple of articles about the dim odometer problem that should be helpful.
