My APIM was replaced in December 2022. I've got the black screen again. I am really starting to hate Ford.

 

Got a wild hair and decided to check the fuse for sync ( number 15 in passenger foot well). It tested good, so I thought "so much for the simple solution." After putting the fuse back in everything was working. I guess the fuse must have gotten somewhat loose.

 

you did what is known as a hard reset, if it does it again then id look closer into it

 

That makes more sense than a loose fuse. I have an appointment on the twelfth to have it looked. I guess I should keep it.
The black screen happened the day after on OTA update. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

 

my 23 updated a few days ago and has been freezing up etc. have to do a soft reset with power button and forward seek to clear it up.
I am thinking bad update. AA will display full black screen occasionally as well after update. have to goto sync then back to AA to clear that up.

 

AA?
