Blank Vehicle Information Center

JeepFan said:
Intermittently when I start the JL, the (VIC) vehicle information center is completely blank. If I turn off the Jeep and wait 5 minutes, everything works fine.

Anybody run into this issue?

I haven't had this issue but have had the same issue with my radio. If course it never happened at the dealer so they couldn't never figure it out. I think it had to do with my taser but not sure. We had to replace our second battery early on as that caused a bunch of weird issues

Same thing on both of ours but with the radio and not the cluster. Happened once on the JL and a few times on the JT. Both were normal after shutting off for a few minutes and restarting. Both have tazers. The last time it happened was months ago. Gotta be a software issue somehow, IMO.

I haven't gone that route yet. I have an appointment with the dealer to fix a couple other issues. I plan to report this problem as well. If it's not a software issue, I imagine they will say the cluster needs to be replaced. $$$$$$$

$1500 for a JK cluster if I recall

Yup, not the EVIC but I've got the same problem with my radio. I always assumed it was because of the tazer and being that it goes away, I never give it much thought.

my 2018 JL kept doing that but every time I took it to the dealer of course they couldn't repeat it... same with the head unit.

I even recorded it as proof and got the same bullshit answer if they can't repeat it it ain't broke.

it still does it on occasion but I reboot it with the Tazer and it's fine for awhile.

New issue thought - the head unit did an over the air update and now Offiroad Pages are gone :doh:

headed to Moab, good question for the Jeep reps...

I've seen the radio issue in our JL too, but it's rare. Doesn't bother me as much as the EVIC. :crazyeyes:
 
Different Jeep but I have this every so often with the head unit in my 19 compass. Had it at the dealership for it with no answers. I’ve assumed it’s a software issue.

Carobotor just emailed me and said a JL version is coming. Option if the dealer makes you pay for a new cluster.....

Welcome to Wayalife. That’s a random first post on a very specific issue. Do you work for them?

Nope, literally had just gotten an email from them after registering. I was on JK Forum under same user name years ago, just got a 21 Rubicon. Talk to Chris (Piginajeep) he can vouch for me.

Jesus, ONE story at Rausch like 12 years ago and some just can't let it go. Is it hard to reply here when unzipping pants? ;)

Thanks for the info...Very interesting product indeed! I doubt I would purchase something like this but it looks cool. I have an appointment with the dealer in a week so I will post up anything I learn from them.

No worries. I'm a gadget guy, I look forward to the release. When I emailed them about it, I hinted at testing but no bait taken. Lol.

Does your radio just randomly restart? I’ve recently started having that problem and would love to know if anyone has found a solution. It gets real annoying when you are on a hands free call that drops out because of the radio restart. Oh and I don’t have the tazer installed so that can’t be the cause.

Yup. From time to time it does and no, I don't think it's the tazer either. I do know that Jeep does send updates to your Jeep and if I could guess, the reset it a result of that.
 
Quick update on this issue. Took it to the dealer today and although they couldn't duplicate the problem, they determined there was a software update for the EVIC display. They did not know if the update specifically addresses this issue. Anyway, I asked them to go ahead and install the update. Of course there is no guarantee this will fix the issue, but time will tell. I'll update this thread at a later date.
