Remove the instrument cluster, disassemble carefully face down on a
towel on the kitchen table, then clean the rheostat contact surface
with either a spray electronics cleaner (Radio Shack), or if you're
willing to really dig into it, open it up and use a pencil eraser
(which will remove all the corrosion). The question is why do you have
so much corrosion/dirt/contaminants there already on a car that isn't
15 - 20 years old yet?

I'm having a minor issue with the instrument cluster rheostat on my S6.
When
I first turn on my headlights, I get no dash lights. If I didle with the
rheostat a *bit* I get IC lights as expected.
