Display Screen Blank

[RossB23]

Anyone else have their displays go out randomly? Fan speed control still operates. Radio won’t work when blank.
Does this two maybe three times a week.
After cycling the truck on/off the display comes back most times.

Same thing on mine, happens randomly & infrequently.

ME TOO! Same Issue. But mine was totaled, so I am not complaining. : )

Perform a soft reset.......

DM me your VIN and I'll take a peek at your VHR. May have a front display module issue or the more likely, an APIM getting ready to bite it. Also possible an OTA is hung or didn't load correctly.

i had this happen 6 times during off roading on one day, but it hasn’t happened recently wondering if an OTA update caused this?

I've read that you can hold the 'Power' and 'Fast Forward' buttons to reset the head unit. I put a post-it note as a reminder on the dash, rather than looking for a place to pull over to turn the Bronco off.

Pretty sure the post right before yours is the answer.

Here's another option to be sure:

These were some of the symptoms of my APIM dying in the F350. Warranty replaced, been fine ever since

I have this same issue, even tried soft resets, but that only worked for 1 week. Dealership notified me today, that the APIM need to be replaced.
3 hr Job totaling $1600.
I noticed there was a recall on the Lincoln Aviator APIM, but was surprised there isn't 1 for the Bronco Yet.

@Ducati1098 can attest, Ford has been having copious amounts of module issues since the 'rona. I think some is software, hardware, Ford server issues, OTA fails, etc. Most of which we at the dealer level have no control of. APIMs make up a healthy chunk of the total module problems and as they've introduced more into the various networks over the years, it's gotten exponentially more difficult to diagnose and repair due to the layered systems.

Ford knows they have issues and it may be too late to try and get some after warranty assistance but it wouldn't hurt calling Ford's customer assistance and asking. I feel for you, we've have a few in the shop right now with various module failures that are out of warranty so just know you aren't alone and no modern Ford is immune.

What's the best current aftermarket display re install simplicity and performance and would it solve this problem?
