It's happened before, hopefully it will be an easy fix.

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes, and then try it.
Of course you know that once you do this, you will have to reset the DCS/TCS right?
I'd also try doing some "advanced searches" on here and see what pops up.
Since everything else works, I'd be tempted to say that it's a loose connection to that display, but try the battery anyway.

Oh.......BTW......have you dicked with it in any manner what-so-ever? Is your audio totally stock?

Before someone says; "Search, Noob", after you re-connect the battery, turn the ignition on, then turn the steering wheel full-lock left, then right.....

See HERE for what the owner's Manual says.

I had my sun visor break and the wires within the sun visor crossed and shorted out a couple fuses in the car, one of them leaving my radio display black.

Good.....hopefully it just got jarbled up and it will be okay now.


I guess I would say....don't be too surprised if it comes back, but hopefully it's gone for good.
