Why is the display screen in the car not lighting up?

Reasons why the display screen in the car is not lighting up: 1. Loose wiring port causing disconnection; 2. Compatibility issues with the navigation system's software. The car display is installed inside the vehicle and is specifically designed for automobiles. Typically, car displays are mounted on the headrests of seats and are also known as headrest displays. The car display is an essential component of the automotive audio-visual system, capable of receiving in-car audio-visual signals and playing them back on the screen. It can also be used in similar moving vehicles, making it convenient for use while the car is in motion. When connected to an onboard camera, the car display can automatically show the scenery behind the vehicle during reversing, aiding in parking. Additionally, it may include features such as automatic backlight adjustment, anti-glare, and automatic angle adjustment to adapt to the unique requirements of automotive use.
When the car's display screen suddenly goes black, the first thing that comes to mind is that the fuse might have blown, which can easily happen when the car is bumpy or the wiring is aging. A non-functional display affects navigation, rearview camera, and vehicle settings, significantly increasing driving risks. I think starting with basic checks is the way to go: first inspect the fuse box and replace the corresponding fuse, and if that doesn’t work, check if the power connector is loose, causing poor contact. The display itself could also be faulty, such as screen aging or software freezing—sometimes restarting the system helps. A safety recommendation is that if the screen suddenly goes black while driving, pull over immediately and use a phone for navigation instead, then seek professional repair as soon as possible to avoid delays or bigger issues. Regularly checking wiring connections during maintenance can prevent such incidents and ensure stable operation of the vehicle’s electronic systems.
