Instrument Cluster Has Gone Dark: FIX post 19

[Rfemle]

If I understand your comment correctly, it sounds like a report needs to be made ro NHTSA on www.nhtsa.gov since you lost access to your reverse camera, which is required by FMVSS 111.

Back up camera is in middle screen, it was my dashboard screen behind steering wheel.

Add another case of "Dark IC Syndrome" to the tally. July 29. IC came back after leaving the truck off for 30 minutes.
Reported to Ford BEV In-Vehicle Technology group.
Awaiting any word on a permanent fix.

Disconnecting the 12V battery...while seemingly a catchall fix for glitches is not without consequences. The repair manual wants you to de-energize the HV battery system before disconnecting the 12V battery (which I will admit most techs probably won't do), and after reconnecting the 12V battery, a lot of learned values will have to be re-learned, and power window initialization steps will also have to be performed. So pulling a specific fuse seems like a smarter choice.

Just like the IPC fuse that @Maquis mentions there were people who also needed to pull the TCU fuse to clear out corrupted data on their 23 models several months ago but chose to disconnect the 12V battery instead. I'm sure it won't be the last time.

And anytime power is interrupted, or modules are programmed using FDRS with the frunk lid open, ..it will first have to be closed manually once, before normal operation using the various buttons and remote will work again.

I think there was an update(FDRS)that made my automatic up/down window not work I had to reprogram it a few days ago??
Thank you to whoever posted that on the other thread!!!

Many thanks to those who shared the problem I just experienced today. Like several of you, mine resolved itself after about 90 minutes. I'll keep a fuse puller near #13 for if or when it happens again.

Happened to me today!

Thank you forum for the fuse 13 removal/re-installation tip, that fixed it instantly.
