Dash display died

[Tucuma]

One year old 2023 Badlands with 18000 kilometres just lost most of the functions of the center display. Cameras work, but GPS is dead, phone, radio, etc. The “check back seat” is dead too, but I don’t miss that.
Is there a Reboot button somewhere that might bring things back online?

RESET THE SYNC3 SYSTEM
1. Simultaneously press and hold the seek up (seek forward) and the audio unit power buttons until the screen goes black.
2. Wait three minutes to allow the system to complete the reset.
3. Press the audio unit power button to switch the system on.

Have you updated your Sync software to SYNC 3, Software Version: 3.4 Build 23188 PRODUCT ?

You may as well eliminate the easy things like performing the Sync reset and making sure your sync software is up to date.

You could have a bad APIM but there’s no need to jump to any conclusions

You could also try a Master Reset but it will wipe some sync settings

If you decide to perform a master reset here are those instructions

Performing a Master Reset (Version #1)
1. Review and Save Settings in order to restore Settings after Master Reset completes.
2. Start your vehicle. Ensure your vehicle is in park and running, not in accessory mode.
3. Press Settings on your vehicle's SYNC screen.
4. Choose General.
5. Scroll down and press Master Reset.
A message confirming that all system settings will be erased and reset to factory defaults will appear.
6. Press Continue.
A Resetting to factory defaults message will appear, the system will turn off and the screen will go blank. It may take a few minutes for the system to reset and resume normal operation.

Most likely you will need to re-add your phone(s) as well as set any other sync settings that defaulted to factory.

My display were blanking out on my 23 Big Bend. 3 trips to dealer without finding the problem. I finally found a post on this forum with video that someone else had of the same problem. Dealership was no help. They would not load test the battery. We replaced.the battery at Sam's because it did test bad. No problems since.
