Instrument panel display blacking out due to heat?

[rodhx]

Each of the last two days we have had temps in the low 90s. Leaving work yesterday the instrument panel was blacked out but resumed working after a stop & restart. Today the display would blink on for about a second before going black, and did this for about 15 minutes of driving. My guess is this is entirely heat related. Has anyone else experienced this?

Good luck. I don’t have this kind of issues in my state, but I see the instrument cluster unit is already creating lots of issues.

A few people had similar experiences when temperatures were cold to mild. Have you tried a reset of the Sync 4A system?

Looks like a different issue. That thread seems to be talking about the center touch screen display instead of the instrument panel in front of the driver.

I'd still try the reset.

Might try it, but is there any indication it even affects the instrument panel?
