So, I am coming back from lunch, CD in the top slot, I hit the up button on my steering wheel to change songs and I glance down at the display and it's blank! Nothing!

 

The HVAC control is working fine, and the stereo functions and controls are fine, just no display.

 

Has anybody had this happen yet?

 

I am very aware my truck has full warranty, so there is no need to remind me. I just like to be informed, and help my dealer so I don't have to make repeated trips, should I get the "could not duplicate" BS

Dude, it's under warranty, take it in. That's what your warranty is for. You have a bumper-to-bumper warranty that is designed to cover this sort of thing specifically. It's between the bumpers so it's included. Take it in and let the dealer perform the work under warranty so it gets fixed right while still under warranty. It'd be a shame for you to wait until it was out of warranty to take it in so they could charge you money for a new HU since you'd then be out of warranty. Anyway, my point is, you have a warranty, use it. :D

Had it happen twice, but I couldn't figure out much of a pattern to it. Both times were when I first started the truck and pulled it out of the garage. The first time I turned the truck off and on a couple of times, tapped the dash, and played with the dash dimmer and it eventually corrected itself. I doubt my fiddling did any good. It hasn't happened in over a year though so a dealer trip would be worthless at this point for me.

 

Daddy does have a point :D

If the vehcile is parked under cover it may be that your Autolamp's have illuminated and your IP lights are not in the full bright setting, the radio display will return once the vehicle is moved into sunlight.

The only thing throwing me is that your HAVC control head is acting correct, none the less try to trun the IP light knob counterclockwise to full bright if it happens again other wise you have am issue that will require a repair.

Been there done that a long time ago. The IP knob on any setting can't cause it to turn off completely anyway. It's something else causing only the radio display to completely black out and it's intermittent.

Thanks guys. Yeah I tried all the obvious stuff, and the IP light dim like they should, and the truck was in the sun when I fired it up.

Off to the dealer I go...

You should. That's what your warranty is for! :D

Last time this happened to me the dash light dimmer control was turned all the way off. I didn't figure out the problem until that night when the dash lights didn't work either.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
