Why doesn't the center console light up after power failure?
2 Answers
The reasons why the center console does not light up after power failure include insufficient power supply, poor wiring contact, and damaged display screen. Here are the specific solutions: Insufficient power supply: First check whether the power supply of the display screen is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, replace the power supply module. Poor wiring contact: Check whether the wiring contact is good. If there is a problem, replace the wiring in time. Damaged display screen: Check whether the display screen is damaged. Replace the display screen for testing. If it returns to normal, it means the display screen is damaged. If the situation remains the same, with normal power supply and good wiring contact, check the video output signal of the motherboard and replace the motherboard for further testing.
I've encountered similar issues before. After a power outage, the center console suddenly stops lighting up. The most common causes are a blown fuse or loose wiring. The center console system relies on the car's power supply. If the fuse is blown after power is restored, the circuit is interrupted, and naturally, it won't light up. First, check the fuse box, usually located under the steering wheel or in the engine compartment. Look for the label corresponding to the center console, and use a small pair of pliers to pull it out and see if it's blackened. If the fuse is intact, it might be a loose wire connection, especially after bumpy rides. Try unplugging and re-plugging to secure it. Failures in the center console unit itself are rare but possible. Software glitches are more common after power outages. Some cars require restarting the engine or disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset. Avoid tampering with the circuit boards to prevent worse short circuits. Take it to a repair shop where they can use a multimeter to test the voltage and quickly identify the root cause. Also, ensure the battery is well-charged, as unstable voltage is another potential trigger.
