My screen where it shows me my radio info and mpg and oil life screen is black and wont turn on? Is it my fuse or something else?

Now I know this is the same thing as asking "is it pluggged in"

But to make sure...

In my '14 that screen has multiple displays, triggered by pressing a little "i" button on the steering wheel, one of them is for putting in a picture, so if you don't have a picture it will be black.


Again, not trying to insult, just getting the simplest solution out of the way first!

If that isn't the problem pull out your owners manual, it will tell you what fuses power what, go ahead and check them.

Does the radio make noise or is it dead? Dome lights work or no?

Yes its plugged in i have a aftermarket stereo on it and it worked fine but i keep pressing the i button and the menu button and it doesnt even change or even turn on anymore

The radio doesnt make noise and the dome lights work

I couldnt find the i mid fuse in the book, im new to this car, should i take it to the dealer? Should i check every fuse in the car and in the engine bay?

Absolutely!


Dealer probably won't touch the car with aftermarket stuff in it. I know I wouldn't want to as we have zero documentation for aftermarket components.

Remove everything that is not factory.
Reinstall every last piece, return the car to 100% original.

If the IMID now works, the problem must have been with the non-original stereo stuff or whatever you have in there now.

If the IMID still does not work, now you can take it to the dealer.

i will do just that then thank you

I checked all the fuses in the engine bay and by the clutch pedal and they are all in working condition and i put back the stock head unit and the imid display is still off.

I guess you know the next step?

Thank you so much, i took out the radio and followed the wires and turns out the harness for the steering wheel control had been damaged but the manufacturer is gonna send me a replacement and should be good
