My 2015 QX70S had a problem with the instrument cluster lights going out intermittently. The dealer recently replaced the cluster (under extended warranty). That fixed the intermittent problem.

NOW, my cluster lights go out whenever the car lights turn on, (using lights in Auto mode) when going under a tunnel, or in a garage, or at dusk, or turning car lights on by hand. In a dark situation like that, I can't see the cluster at all. The brightness is set to Max. The other dash lights work though.

Any ideas what that might be? Is there a specific sensor for that which might be faulty?
 
There is ambient light sensor, could it be that acting up or a maybe a loose connection ?
