Solutions for the Malibu XL center console screen not lighting up: 1. First, check whether the power supply to the display screen is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, replace the power supply module. 2. Then, check whether the ribbon cable connection is good. If there is a problem, replace the ribbon cable. 3. Check whether the display screen is damaged. Replace the display screen for testing. If it returns to normal, the display screen is damaged. 4. If the power supply is normal and the ribbon cable connection is good, check the video output signal of the motherboard and replace the motherboard for testing. The following is an introduction to the car center console: The car center console is the place where comfort and entertainment devices such as car air conditioning and audio are controlled. The car center console includes the central control door lock system, and the driver can control the switch of the whole car door and the window lifting system through the car center console.
Last time I drove my friend's Malibu XL, I also encountered a completely black screen issue. Don't panic first, this kind of problem can mostly be solved by yourself. Try holding down the volume knob to reboot the infotainment system, waiting for more than 15 seconds to let the system restart completely. Pay attention to whether the air conditioning buttons have backlighting when driving normally. If the buttons are lit but the screen remains dark, it's most likely a loose power supply connection or a blown fuse. Remember that the fuse box for the infotainment system is hidden behind the glove compartment - check the manual for fuses labeled 'Radio' or 'Infotainment'. If both rebooting and fuse checks show no issues, the motherboard of the infotainment system might be faulty, in which case you'll need to visit the dealership to read the error codes with their computer. By the way, the probability of screen crashes increases after exposure to high temperatures in summer, so try to park in shaded areas whenever possible.
