Which display are you referring to? The one in the gauge cluster or the one in the OBC/radio?

That's a common problem with the MID (Multi-Information Display). I and many others had to have the gauge cluster replaced under warranty. I don't think there is an easy fix for it.

The MID with the radio functions etc. is easily changed. One screw under the volume knob that pulls off. You may need the new one coded for your
key functions and country varient though.

p.s.s. if you can get just the lcd portion you should be ok but I have never seen that available here in Canada.

As for Catvega if it is the instument cluster you need to have it replaced and coded at the dealer....

There are companies the run ads in Roundel that repair the MID/Radio display problems and offer a warranty. Should be no need to have them reprogrammed after repair.

Check with them for warranty in this even though you are past that. Sometimes they will cover.
