greeting,
I have a problem with the instrument panel, my backlight does not work in the area of the kilometer clock, everything else works, is it a smd diode or is it some other problem?

Impossible that only one diode illuminates the left side of the board or?

There's some pictures of a disassembled instrument cluster in this thread: https://www.fiatforum.com/linea/484...uired-linea-t-jet-fl2014-india.html?p=4572541
I think that's some LEDs I can see behind the LCD? Might be worth opening up yours and verifying, and try to find the right SMD LED
 
The last two days when the car warms up, the backlight works. Is it possible that it is a cold solder on the board?

Could be moisture. I've seen quite a few posts on here and other forums from people in humid climates who have problems with the LCD, so I would imagine LEDs could be affected in a similar way. In your case, it's interesting they start working again so the component obviously hasn't failed, but perhaps the connection is not good.
 
When the car is cold then it doesn't work, but as soon as it warms up inside it works immediately, I believe it's a cold solder on the cluster
