My BB was delivered on 10/14/22 and guess what happened today. My dashboard and 8-inch screen suddenly blacked out (speedo, rpm and etc) when the engine was turned on. The start button worked just fine except that the screens are both turned off. I have no clue what’s going on. Anyone having this issue? It’s really frustrating. Thanks

And ... (Insert how the problem was fixed)

Thanks, future 8" screen owner.
Basically, I had to disconnect the battery for an hour. Once you reconnect the battery, don’t panic, because you will start seeing all sorts of alerts poping up on the screen including the ECL (yikes). As a Bronco with only 343 miles, I didn’t think it actually had a major issue but just a system glitch since the system just got rebooted by reconnecting the battery. After letting her sit for a bit and once I restarted the engine, thank God, the screen showed up as normal as it should be. Hope it helps.
