When the Envision's screen suddenly goes dark, it is often due to screen damage. Here is some extended information about the Envision: 1. Model: The Buick Envision is positioned as a midsize SUV, ranking first in aspects such as power, interior, and comfort. 2. Dimensions: The new vehicle has a length of 4686mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and uses a front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension. The official 0-100km/h time is 10.3 seconds, while actual testing shows 9.51 seconds. 3. Features: The new vehicle is equipped with tire pressure display, rearview camera, cruise control, auto start-stop, panoramic sunroof, keyless entry for all doors, a 4.2-inch LCD instrument panel, heated front seats, an 8-inch central control screen supporting CarPlay and Android Auto, LED daytime running lights, one-touch up/down with anti-pinch for front windows, and automatic dual-zone air conditioning, among other features.

I also experienced a sudden blackout of the screen while driving my Envision. I was using the navigation at that time and was completely baffled. I quickly pulled over, turned off the engine, waited for five minutes, and then restarted it, but the screen still wouldn't light up. Later, I thought it might be a fuse issue. I checked the fuse box near the driver's seat, and according to the manual, the fuse corresponding to the infotainment system had blown. After replacing it with a new one, everything was back to normal. I recommend that car owners always keep spare fuses handy, just in case. Such malfunctions are often caused by aging wiring or voltage fluctuations. If restarting and checking the fuses don't help, it's best to take the car to a shop and have a technician use diagnostic tools to check the system modules. Never force it to work, as accidentally pressing control buttons could cause further issues.

From an electronic control perspective, the Envision's screen blackout is often triggered by software conflicts or hardware failures. For instance, when the infotainment system is overloaded with multiple running applications, unstable current may cause screen power interruption; or loose screen connectors could lead to signal loss. I usually check the voltmeter after vehicle ignition to ensure battery stability and avoid abruptly activating high-power-consuming devices. If the screen goes black, try a hard reset: turn off the engine, remove the key, wait ten minutes, then restart to clear system memory. Professionally, it's necessary to examine ECU module data – visiting a 4S dealership for an OBD tool scan is recommended, as it's more efficient and accurate for retrieving trouble codes.

When the screen goes black, driving risks increase significantly, especially at night or in rainy/foggy weather. I've had several scary experiences where navigation and reversing cameras failed, forcing me to drive by feel. This affects vehicle control – even adjusting AC temperature becomes a blind operation. My approach: immediately turn on hazard lights, slow down and pull over safely – never force continued driving. Afterwards, promptly check fuses or reboot the system. If recurring, investigate potential wiring shorts to prevent major failures. Safety first – don't hesitate, visit a professional repair shop immediately.

Quick self-check steps to try first: First, check if the screen brightness was accidentally adjusted too low; Second, turn off the engine, lock the car, wait a few minutes, and restart; Then inspect the fuse box—for the Envision, it's located under the cover on the driver's side door—find the fuse corresponding to the infotainment system and check if it's blown; If the fuse is intact, the issue might be a loose connection—try unplugging and replugging the power cable behind the screen. DIY saves money and time; having a multimeter to test voltage stability adds extra reassurance. If the screen still doesn't light up, it's time for a professional check on the control module.
