I was driving my 2011 (V6 MT base) and the dash lights went out, airbag warning light came on, instruments froze, and the A/C blew hot air; everything else fine: engine, lights, signals, radio, console lights. I stopped, turned off engine, thinking I'd let it reset. Wrong! Wouldn't restart. Couldn't open trunk with console button, either. Did I blow 5 fuses at once? Anybody have a similar problem?

 

Fortunately you're still under warranty. If you were driving an older S197, I'd say you had the chronic water leak that plagued the 05's thru 09's which corroded connections on the Smart Junction Box (SJB). Is there any chance you're battery crapped the bed? When you say wouldn't restart, did it crank and not start or did it NOT crank at all?

 

Eventually the dealer replaced the instrument panel, resolving this problem.

 

Wow...a year and a half to get a follow up? lol

 

Thanks for the update, DanielWilson!
