No information display

Hey guys,

I just cleaned my car today. I was wiping down the interior, I noticed the information display (time, temp, track #, etc) is gone. All of the lights and electronics are working excluding the information display. I figured I accidentally pushed a button or dimmed the screen. Is there such thing? Any suggestions will be great. It is driving me crazy...

Yes there is a switch that dims and brightens the interior display. To the left of the steeering wheel there is the switch. It is right next to the DSC OFF button. Push up to brighten push down to dim.

Thanks for the reply. But that dimmer is for the other panels, buttons, etc.

I don't have any info on the time, temperature, tracks, radio stations, etc.

Try pushing hard on the top left and right corners of the radio... See if that works you may have loosened your faceplate from the system. It's strange.. But see if it kicks on and off by pushing hard on different areas on the radio.

Thanks guys - it is the fuse.

I just pulled out the fuse and put it back in. Everything is back to normal.
