Default Intermittent display failure

Hi, Recently purchased a 2014 3lt vert (cpo) and the info display periodically goes blank. Pressing one or another button brings it back to life. No other problems like blinking or loss of partial screen. I think that the display has been replaced earlier based on service history. I will take it in but since its intermittent any suggestions on how I verify to the service guys that it really has a problem?

Thanks, E-fish

If I get a new corvette it will remind me of my 85.

Friend had the issue - it was the radio, don't ask me why but the radio "holds" all the info.....

Try to capture the failure with your cell phone video in case it doesnt happen while at shop. Should help authorize the repair if it doesnt present during inspection.

It probably won't help but try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting. That often cures electrical gremlins and is an easy thing to do.

one of my friends claims his 2014 vert 3LT did the same thing, only when his cell phone was in the car.

unfortunately, unless the problem occurs while the vehicle is at the shop, it would difficult if not impossible to properly diagnose and repair it.
