I took my 2006 prius in for routine service at a dealership 1 week ago today. Within a day after getting the car back, the MFD went completely blank. The radio and all other display items still work, but nothing on the MFD. I have tried to turn it back on but get no response from any of the buttons. Is there an electrical connection in the engine or possibly a fuse that I can check? I'm wondering if some connection got loosened during the maintenance. I don't want to change the MFD out if that may not be the problem. How can I check to see if it is getting power? Please Help! Thanks!
I'm not sure. It was working and then the next time I got in the car it wasn't, but my wife drove the car in between. Fortunately, however, I have fixed the problem! I saw on another site a way to access the wires on the back through the speaker hole in the center of the dash. I opened that up, removed the wires from the back of the MFD and then plugged them back in and it is now working. I shouldn't be cynical, but it makes me wonder if someone loosened the connection just enough. Anyway, it is fixed. Thanks for your concern.
did the maintenance cause this?? maybe, probably not. what you performed is the #1 solution to 90% of all electronic gadget issues. call it power cycling, rebooting, whatever you want. but that is always first thing i try. yours worked, mine would have caused you to have to reset all your radio stations, but whatever works
Just like my router at home. Luckily the MFD is more stable than my router. I'm rebooting that on a weekly basis. Thanks!
