Title: Driver information centre stopped working
Post by: Dave Dunington on January 14, 2018, 08:50:36 am
My 2001 U320 information centre has frozen.. Data on screen does not change, clock works fine but no new data.. Has anyone ran into this problem .. I would hate to find out that I spent hours chasing wiring to find out it was something easy !

Thanks


Safe Travels,

Dave

Dave,
Sorry I cannot help with the technical problem.  But I would note that in Edmonton this week many things have frozen up.  (I couldn't resist)

Don't they have plug in posts in the parking lots in Edmonton? Do they frown on the Walmart overnighters plugging in while staying?

Sorry no help on the info center.

Dave,
Can you get to a plug on the back of it?
Unplug it, wait a few minutes then reconnect it. Long shot but may help.

Dave, if it lights up and there is a working clock but other numbers are static it is probably a loose plug.  It might be hard wired or it might connect to your diagnostic port.  Your diagnistic port is on the sidewall of the driver's foot well.

I am not even sure this is a Silverleaf product but likely.  Give them a call.  ‭(888) 741-0259‬
