2 Answers
The issue of a non-illuminated center console screen in the Borgward BX7 needs to be addressed based on the specific cause. If it's due to poor contact in the wiring, the wiring should be inspected and reconnected; if the power signal line is aged, the power signal line needs to be replaced; if the power supply module is faulty, causing the center console screen not to light up, then it's necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair, and the center console may need to be replaced if required. The phenomenon of a non-illuminated center console screen in a car is mainly due to poor contact in the wiring. It is essential to promptly check whether there is any loose connection in the wiring. If there is a loose connection, it will naturally cause the center console screen to go black. In this case, simply ensuring the loose part is properly connected will resolve the issue. Aged power signal lines are also a common cause of a non-illuminated center console screen in cars. You can try replacing it with a new one. If the black screen issue is resolved, it confirms that the problem indeed lies with the power signal line. If after checking the above two scenarios, the center console screen still does not light up, it is likely due to prolonged use of the screen, resulting in a faulty power supply module. In this case, it is necessary to take the car to a repair shop for inspection and repair or direct replacement. It is not recommended for car owners to attempt fixing this issue on their own.
As a long-term owner of the Borgward BX7, let me share some experience. When the central control screen doesn't light up, don't panic. First, check the fuse box—it's located under the dashboard on the passenger side. Try replacing the multimedia system fuse. If that doesn't work, turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and restart the vehicle to reboot the system; sometimes it's caused by software freezing. Next, open the hood to check if the battery connections are secure, as insufficient voltage can affect power supply. Loose wiring harnesses are a common issue—connectors may come loose after bumps, so try tightening them yourself. For software issues, check if it's in standby mode or caused by app conflicts, and attempt a reset or connect your phone to update the firmware. If none of these work, it's advisable to visit an authorized service center promptly. Borgward service points are well-equipped to accurately diagnose issues like screen failure or motherboard damage. Delaying repairs can affect navigation and safe driving.
