Had anyone found a fix to this? My 2019 Silverado just started this.

So I have the same issue. Had my radio replaced and still no luck. Funny thing, when it goes black or really dark, if you turn the headlight off auto and back on the display comes back most of the time

Tried it and it works like magic, but every month doing it almost 20 times is irritating, have you got it completely fixed? 

Or this is the 'only' solution....

We are having the same issue with our 2019 z71. This has happened probably 5 times already. Sometimes turning the truck off and back on fixes it but now it’s not coming on at all. Completely black screen so no touch screen functions working.

Sounds like this is an issue GM/Chevy has known about for many years Impacting many models.  I have a 2016 Silverado w 21K miles! It’s a third vehicle so I don’t drive it often. Black screen, it’s now a brick. Seems that mileage has nothing to do w it though. I knew I shouldn’t have went back to Chevy.

Welcome to the site.

 

Unfortunately you have a different system than the posters with the new 19 1500 body styles. You have the same as the 14-18 1500's.

The 2020 will have the updated informant system in them.

 

I would take it in under warranty and see what's up, pretty common problem.

My 2019 1500 Custom did this for the first time this morning on the way to work, radio continued to play, screen was just black. Went out at lunch and turned the key and it lit up like normal. This truck has less than 2,500 miles on it. I hope GM is looking into this.

I have the same truck and it has 8,000 miles now (bought at 7,000) it does this to me randomly. Most of the time when it happens it will be right when I turn the car on and the screen will just stay black. No music or anything and no button presses will turn it on. Sometimes it will randomly turn on after a few minutes, other times it will stay off. Turning the car off and on does nothing. The only thing that seems to work is turning the car off, getting out, locking it and waiting 10 or so minutes. It's a huge inconvenience if I don't have time to do so because I'm just driving with a black screen. I've had it stay black for 40+ minute drives. I also occasionally hear random clicking seeming to come from behind the infotainment system.

Just posted about this in another thread. My 2019 Custom has 4700 miles, this just happened to me last week. Shutting off/restarting the truck didn't work, turning Auto headlamps off & on didn't work, the only thing that worked was reseating fuse F41. I have an oil change coming up and I'll ask about software updates, although I don't think there are any available yet.

There’s a software update for the frozen screen. I just had it done to mine. However, my screen is still getting stuck in night mode 90% of the time I start it up.

The solution they have is an update. Didn’t work for me as my screen went black on me again this morning. I’ve had it replaced and every update known to man. No fix

I'm having the same issue with my 2019 Chevy Silverado crew cab custom 4x4 truck. I'll be driving down the road and the radio screen goes black, the back up camera will still work and sometimes either the radio or pandora driving or sitting still ot will happen. I went to the dealer and they said if it's under warranty no problem,  but if not they want $130.00 for an hour to find the problem. That's a no can do for me, it should be no charge my wife and I have a 8 year bumper to bumper warranty plus we just purchased the truck on June 30th.

I have had issues with the blank screens or wrong info on the screen. I have video of My clock going backwards up to 20 min at a time or only move in 2 minute intervals forwards. I’ve taken this to my case manager and told we will look into it.. never hear back.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Ac not keeping up

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.

      I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference.

      AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.

      Found the fix for this.  Untightan the bolt just below top linkage on the steering column, turn assembly left to reduce space between the two linkage rods at the steering column, tighten bolt.  Made a big improvement.
