My clock blinks when lights turned on...

This is new... I know the clock is supposed to dim when the lights are turned on. Mine started to dim and go bright and dim and it does not stop when I turn the lights on... WTF???

I thought i was the only one with this problem.

I find that hitting above the light makes it stop going from dim to bright.

No, it should dim when the parking lights are on.

Mazda figured at night you wouldn't need or want the clock as brite as during the day.
