Instrument cluster doesn't turn on? Help

[user-name-required]

Anyone encounter this?

Drove kids to school, everything was fine. Took daughter inside, came back out and got into truck, and my instrument cluster didn't turn on.

Pulled over, parked, turned truck off, got out so it locked. stood there in the snow for a couple mins, then got back in. Still nothing.


Anyone have this happen?

Yep, happened to me once, and there have been a couple of threads on it. I think there was some fuse you could pull to reset something but I can't recall exactly. Fixes itself after a while. Annoying driving without a speedometer. I have an OBD dongle connected so I can show the speed on the centre display using Car Scanner via CarPlay, but it's certainly not ideal.

Happened to me once after I remotely started the cabin heat, then got into truck and turned it on. Less than a minute after I left the driveway, it went dark. Drove back and used my ICE. Next time I turned it on, it was fine. Now I make sure I turn off the heat before I turn on the truck, in case the two are somehow related.

It's happened once or twice in the 2.5 years I've had my Lightning, with time it's self resolved.

What was your last update on the software updates screen?

Thanks, I will take a look at that fuse thread. I did do a search for "instrument cluster" and didn't see the one you showed here

It's rare but has been reported before. I think one guy needed a new screen.
