Hello,  First time on here, but I'm hoping that someone can help me repair my 2016 Chevy Suburban My link 8" screen.  It has been glitchy in the past, with the touch area having a mind of it's own.  But that is very sporadic.  But just the other day, it went totally black.  The secret glove box still opens and closes fine. the radio works, but you can only control from the steering wheel controls.  The bluetooth for the phone works.  So I feel like the screen must have gone bad.  Has anyone ever replaced one?? cost??

 

Thanks so much, and I look forward to participating more in the forums.

when you put the truck in reverse does the rear camera come onto the screen? could be a bad screen, OR a bad hmi module. you indicated the bluetooth still works, so im going to bet that your screen has died. We definitely have had customers that have had dead screens. its not common, but its also not uncommon for a screen failure.

We have had issues with out 2016 Suburban MyLink as well. Are you still under warranty?  If so take it in.  I have had ours in several times and until a software update comes out to fix our issue. They extended the warranty on our MyLink to 120k miles and out to 2023.

Try disconnecting the battery for 5-10 minutes.  That should reset the display.  If it is still a problem then a trip to the Dealer will be necessary.

Anybody paid out-of-pocket for a display? Just curious what it would be out of warranty.

I took my 2015 Suburban in just after it went out of warranty and was quoted $1000 to replace the screen.  That was two years ago and I still have a black screen.  I did call GM about this and they acted like it was not an issue.  I said well there are videos all over the internet about it on all different GM vehicles.  I was also told I could need a software update.  I have been just waiting to see if others had the same issue.  Crazy to think of paying $1000 on a new vehicle just over 36000 miles.

I have the same issue with my 2015 Tahoe.  I actually just drooped it off this afternoon for them to look at it.  It cost $200 just to do a diagnostic?. I had other recalls so i had to bring it in anyway..  this has been going on for over a month.  I guess i should have googled it and tried the battery trick.  I’m not paying $1000 if that’s what it is. I’ll report back tomorrow when they tell me

Car-part.com. Great source for parts. Might just be your HMI module that’s behind the glove box. They run around 100 here.

That's not bad at all.  Any repair around $100 is definitely to be considered cheap!

My backup screen works but no Chevy MyLink... no bluetooth, no radio, do you have any insight with these factors know it's more likely to be HMI or radio or whole unit ?

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
