Default 2013 Instrument Cluster Screen Blank with White Boxes

Hi All,

When I got in my 2013 Mustang GT this afternoon after work I quickly noticed that the small screen in the instrument cluster was blank except for white pixels where the normal content would be, including the odometer. I tried power cycling it a few times with no effect. The car runs fine otherwise and all of the electronic functions seem to be working fine. The speedometer/tach are working also.

I called the dealership I bought the car from (new back on 2013) and they said they had never seen such a thing on a mustang. They said I can bring it by on Monday but I can't imagine what could be wrong with it from merely sitting in a parking lot for a few hours.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Disconnected the battery, waited about 30 minutes, reconnected: fixed. I'll leave this here in case anyone has a similar issue.

Welcome and thanks for the update, tdcgtcs! If this happens again, please bring it in to your dealer and get it checked out.

My BOSS has done this to me on very hot days maybe 3 times in 2 years. After letting it sit a bit, it comes back to normal. Wasn't worth going to dealership for me because the less they touch my car, the better.
