Blank screens intermittent-C7 1LT 2015
For last several days have had totally blank screens intermittently, After trying to discover any common elements when this was occurring, I think I have stumbled on the cause. I noted that when I started the vehicle in the garage the screens went blank and then after pulling onto the driveway they reappeared. After driving with no problems I pulled into the garage and noted that when the auto headlights came on the screens went blank. I pulled out of the garage and the screens came back on. I the then turned off the auto headlight function, pulled into the garage without any problems. I have recreated this scenario several times with the same results. Therefore it seems that there is a problem related to the auto headlight function. I will be having routine service in a couple of weeks and will update re the dealers response. I hope this info helps anyone with similar problems.

Thank you for sharing this experience with the forum. I do apologize for the blank screen concern in your Corvette, but I’m glad to hear you’ll be addressing this during service at your dealer. If you would be interested in any additional assistance while at the dealership, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
All the best,

No problem in that area, I have the car for almost a year now and this problem only started several days ago with nothing else changing that I am aware of. Both screens go totally dark. thanks for your input

Final update, thank you papa leo67. The dimmer switch which I have never used was on max. I rotated the switch back and forth several times as we used to do in the old days to clean them off. This morning everything worked properly and continued to work all day. Hopefully this is the fix. I will not be having the dealer look at it hopefully. Thanks again.
