Have to ask...Did you check the settings and switches (brightness, etc.)?

Brightness setting (on the HUD adjustment switches, not the dash brightness) was my first guess too.

 

If that's not it, on a 600 mile vehicle, my next guess would be a connector to completely snapped together.

Presumable you're gonna take it in.

 

Curious to hear what it turns out to be.

I’m not trying to be a dick but I did the same thing when I bought mine. I couldn’t get it to work because I was holding the brightness button to turn it up instead of repeatedly pressing the button. Felt pretty dumb after that one. I’m sure you’ve tried but thought I would share. Hopefully you are smarter than me?. And hope the dealer fixes it for ya.

That's contrary to the OM instructions....

 

Pull and hold to brighten the display.
 

Press and hold to dim the display. Continue to hold to turn the display off.
 

The HUD image will automatically dim and brighten to compensate for outside lighting.
Use +/- to adjust as needed.
 

The HUD image can temporarily light up depending on the angle and position of sunlight on the HUD display. This is normal.
 

Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.

I've noticed if its set too dim and I'm wearing polarized glasses, its pretty much invisible.  Even if its turned full bright, polarized sun glasses filter most of it out.

Interesting. When I wear my polarized sunglasses I have lots of brightness left to use. I usually keep mine on the dimmer side, but it’s easy enough to see.

Do you have more than one pair of polarized sunglasses?

Try another pair.

The HUD works as a reflection off the windshield so most good polarized lenses should significantly dim the display.

A good test is take the glasses off and hold them in front of your eyes and rotate them. The HUD image should get brighter and darker. If the image stays the same the sunglasses lenses aren’t really polarized.

Sorry OP, I don’t have an answer for your question but hope you have it sorted out by now.

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
