All electronics off for just a second!
Whilst bringing the kids to school this morning everything switched off and turned black on the dash. Just for a second, came back on and all was fine.
Checkend the alternator output in the hidden menu and it read 14.5V with the engine running.
Any thoughts?CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

As long as you say things with authority and conviction!! Sometimes it's even right but that's more luck than knowledgable.
