Information Display

[Bazile]

The information display on the dashboard of my car is not displaying anything
The screen is lit but no information is showing

Any ideas what the fault is likely to be ?

I thought it might be a fuse , but I can't see anything in the car handbook fuse box info that refers to a fuse for the display

What car is it??
Mine has a "dark mode", which turns the screen off.
Maybe you've selected this without realising it??

You need to tell us the make and model of the car!

Many modern cars have a reboot mode set in action by a combination of buttons - check your handbook or the manufacturers website.

Check manual for the number of the fuse then replace interior lights fuse.

In this photo - the display screen at the bottom between the rev counter and the speedometer , is what has gone blank - everything else is working

Iv'e looked in the handbook , but i can't see any fuse that refers to this display screen

Help

Are all the other gauges acting normally ?.

[Bazile]

tony - from the link
//1. Have the engine running and press and hold the trip mileage reset button.//

There isn't a separate trip mileage reset button
The trip mileage / date / time are all operated by a 'wheel' on the indicator stalk

The problem is that there is no information being displayed on the display screen , when you turn the ' wheel ' , even though the screen is lit

All the other gauges are operating normally - i.e. Rev counter / speedometer / engine temp guage / fuel guage .

What's not working is what is suppose to show on the display screen - i.e. odometer mileage / trip guage / date / outside temperature
