Dim battery light anyone?????

On my 03 I know there has been many many cluster issues with these things but typically the speedo or tach gets all screwed up. On mine I have 2 issues... #1 the shift indicator does not light up at all, and #2 the battery light is on very very dim even with the key out of the ignition. The alternator is charging fine at low and high rpm and the AC ripple withing range of acceptable. Anyone run into either of these issues and found out it was the cluster that went bad?
