The steering wheel has to come off and the front face of the dash is disassembled. I did NOT want to watch or even see that. But it was worth it. It would have driven me nuts if it kept happening.

I had a similar issue happen to me this morning. I started my car and all the warning lights were on (TC, oil pressure, oil temp, etc.) and the parking brake light would not turn off even after I heard the parking brake disengage. After a few seconds, the display went totally blank for about 15 seconds, then it started up just fine. It was alarming to see this happen. I have a 2015.

Yes that's what I mean.

Hmm, can't hurt to try, so I will. Thanks.

How do you read speed on PDR when you are driving? Mine is locked out for viewing unless car is stopped.

I've stopped using the trunk button on the outside of the car and have not had the problem since.

Mine comes out of storage today.... and "we" will be working with the dealer with the blank DIC. All is well now and most of the time it works great, just don't open the rear hatch with the button above the license plate.

I took my car to the dealer with the car in the failed mode, sat in the service bay with the engine running and showed the issue to the service manager and the Corvette Tech. They pulled 3 codes on the computer and replaced the instrument cluster, tested the car and pronounced it 100%. That was last fall. It failed again. That is when they requested a video of what I did to make the DIC to fail. WHAT I DID????

I did that early in the winter and the dealer sent it to the Tech center in Detroit. The folks there duplicated the failure on 2 cars up there and I understand from one of the forum members that GM has an IPC fix. I also understand that the fix did not work and he is in the same boat as before.

My dealer sells approx. 250 Vetts annually, so they should be on top of issues and able to repair them. This doesn't seem like a 1 in a million problem.

I have a '15 Z51 w/7speed sn#868 with 650 miles on the odo.

I jinxed myself. After many times with no issue it happened again yesterday....using the button on the fob.

Woodson

Has it ever happened if you don't use the button above the license plate? If not, I would rather just not use the button than have the whole dash messed with especially since nobody seems to know how to fix it.

Ahh - so this just happened to me on a 2015 C7 Z51 that I bought 2 weeks ago.

She isn't even broken in yet

Woodson

OK, so now I find that if I open the door first (which I have to do anyway) then open the hatch using any of the 3 methods, the problem has not happened for a few days. Probably just jinxed myself again..

First Z06

If I use the FOB to open the hatch, or if I open the driver side door first all is fine. At this point it is a 'work around' for a $70,000+ sport car. The button is there for a reason, To Open The Hatch! Chevrolet has a software issue.

For the poor fellow who just picked up his car, my first incident with the dash happened at 150 miles!!!!

Good luck guys!!

I just turned 10,000 miles on my early 14 and it just happened to me today for the first time. Yes, I opened the deck first with 'the outside button'.

SCB

Happened to me for the first time today doing about 8 mph in stop & go traffic.

The instrument panel and and analog gauges (not infotainment screen) went black for about 5 seconds, then the system "rebooted" itself (all the warning lights came on for a couple of seconds), then back to normal.

I did open the hatch with the rear button the night before, which I only do about once/week.
