The reason for the black screen on the central control screen of the Mercedes-Benz C260L is that the fuse has failed, which is caused by excessive load leading to the fuse being blown. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C260L as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4784mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1457mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C260L features a multi-link independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 115kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Last time, the central control screen of my Mercedes-Benz C260L suddenly went black, which got me really worried. It turned out to be a software system glitch, as the Mercedes-Benz infotainment system sometimes has issues with automatic updates or gets stuck. I tried restarting the car—turning it off and then on again—and sometimes that fixed it. Also, extreme hot or cold weather can affect the screen display. Once, after parking under the scorching sun for several hours, the screen went black, but it returned to normal after cooling down. A friend also mentioned that it might be due to app conflicts, like when Bluetooth music streaming freezes. It’s best to regularly update the system—the Mercedes app sends reminders, and I’ve noticed fewer issues after each update. If it happens frequently, it’s worth visiting the 4S shop to check if an internal module is damaged. That can be expensive, but safety comes first—don’t risk navigation problems.
