My Link screen on my 2015 Camaro went completely black one day and the screen worked, I just couldn't see anything. Here is how I fixed it. Step1: Disconnect the negative battery cable from your battery, then the positive(red). Battery is located in the trunk where the spare tire would be. Wait a few minutes before reconnecting. When reconnecting, connect positive cable first and connect the negative cable last. For window reprogramming, watch the steps on the video.

Here is my other video describing how to disconnect the battery

Hey man, thanks so much. I was on the road from NJ to Florida when my screen went blank, none of the other fixes worked for me either. Disconnecting the battery worked. Nothing worse than having a 20 hr drive & being blind on your Mylink screen.
Haha I hear you man. Glad it worked for you. Please help my channel grow by clicking the Subscribe button, it would be much appreciated.
Yo!! Thank you SO MUCH!! Unhooked battery for 15 min and BAM! drove around for 2 months just using Bluetooth connection by the buttons on the wheel. You're saving people thousands of dollars and we appreciate you!
Youre very welcome 🙏 and man 2 months! Thats a long time lol 😆
Lifesaver. I’ve seen driving without the display for weeks. Finally came across your video. Waited for about 15-20 min and it worked like a charm.
Man I bet it sure felt great lol. Glad it worked out for you!
Dude, you are a champion...I had a similar issue and I did it as you said and worked like s charm. When I took it to the dealer he said let’s replace it and the new one would cost $1200 including labor charges.
Sure glad I saved you that large cost! Please help my channel grow by clicking Subscribe. Thank you in advance!
Thanx dude! I owe you a beer. The screen on my 2013 Camaro went blank the other day. After trying turning off/rebooting the car, leaving the door open for 20 minutes, checking the fuse, I asked The Google and it brought me to your neat chatty, blow by blow video. Nice touch including the window reprogramming steps. Greatly appreciate your help and time in making the video
Ric Tucker no problem man, I figured I'd go over all the steps to getting everyone back on track. If not, everyone would still have questions about the windows and such. Glad I could help.
Bro thank you so much. I have a 2017 Chevy Malibu and this happened to me about 3 weeks ago. Chevy told me the fix can cost upwards of $1100. I went out got some tools ($60) worth in order to try out your method of disconnecting the battery. And it worked! Your a life saver. Thank you brother
Youre very welcome 🙏 glad I saved you $1100! The stealership always trying to make their money lol
Have a 2014 Camaro, this morning after a few errands the screen was black, just as stated the screen performed, so I will follow your lead to bring it back. Many thanks!
Jake Jakob no problem, hope it works for you too! Thank you for viewing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. My 2010's radio blanked out along with the internal lights as well as my cooling fan not fully powering up. This fixed everything. You're the man. Much appreciated sir.
Had the exact same symptoms. This worked for me! Battery is in the trunk under the spare. Remove -ve then +ve, then wait 10 mins and replace +ve then -ve. Had to do the window thing as mentioned in video. Thanks so much for posting!!
Allan Mason you're welcome. And glad it worked for you

Dude. I spoke with Onstar (who said they could do a reset) and wasted about 20 minutes. They eventually said take it to a dealer for repair. I took it to the dealer, who wanted $175 to "Diagnose" the issue, not counting actually fixing it. I promptly went back home and did Google. Your video was the first to come up. Went out, found the battery (lol, didn't know it was in the trunk), unconnected the negative, smoked a cig, reconnected, and Boom! Everything was right back to normal. The car guided me through resetting the windows and I was done. Thank you for this video! I kinda feel like I should send you some of that $175 you saved me from the Dealer.
Haha thank you very much. No need, as long as you help my channel grow by clicking the subscribe button is good enough for me. I'm trying to reach 1000 subscribers so of you can do me that favor that would be awesome!
I'm so grateful I found this video! Our screen has been black for months and we thought we would have to open it in order to fix it lol thanks for sharing the video! It really worked!!!
Melyda Charley I sure am glad I made this video then! saved you guys from having to get overcharged for "reprogramming" at a "stealership".
Eddie, your a life saver. Mine went off today (3/5/23) and I will have to fix it tomarrow after I get home from work. I don't really use my radio anyway but, it's nice to know I can fix it without too much trouble. Thank You so much.
Youre very welcome 🙏 and in my video description there is another video on the exact same thing but I actually take you through the steps on how to do the battery disconnect in the trunk incase you're not familiar. Thanks for your feedback and hope it works for you!
I want to thank you for this video! I had the same exact issues as you. The radio screen black, but everything else was functioning. Although I read all of the positive comments I still was hesitant to do it. Took it to the dealership thinking it wasn’t going to be that expensive. They told me it would cost me $2,000, because they didn’t know the exact pieces I needed to fix my screen. I took my car home, and figured I would just give it a try. It worked and I didn’t have to reprogram my windows!!!! Thank you so much!!!
nakeisha glad I could save you $2,000! If you encounter any further issues with your car regarding anything else, feel free to ask. This is my personal vehicle but I am also a professional automotive technician/mechanic so if you have any other questions in the future, feel free to ask.
Can I get steps to locate and unplug the battery pleeeaaassseee. Experiencing this issue now and very much car illiterate 😩😩😩
Chauntel Ferdinand yes ofcourse, go to your trunk, clear out everything you have in the trunk
Once you have done so, lift the whole floor out of the trunk. Try to stick your fingers in on of the corners of the trunk floor and lift up. It's a thin cardboard like panel. (This is where a spare tire would be in the typical car, camaros however, do not come with one. Once you have done this step, you will now see the battery. Disconnect the black cable using a 10 mm wrench if I'm not mistaking. Leave it this way for several minutes then plug it back on.
perezjett1969 it worked!! Thank you sooooo much!
Chauntel Ferdinand no problem! Glad it worked for you.
After driving mine for 6 years and JUST PAYING IT OFF last month, I glance over at my screen to see how cold it is outside, radio on.... aaaand black screen. Of course. I mean, I paid it off right? These are thing I have grown to expect in life. But thank gawd for YT and helpful folk. I'll be doing this tomorrow when the sun comes up. Thank you!
Wooow! What a coincidence right! Lol 😆 but thankfully its a simple fix.
WOW.... 😲 that worked! Over a week of black screen and reading online etc... Thank you! I did it right now 2am waited 20 mins and bam! It's alive!
Dealer wanted $105 just to look at it...
Jonpaul D that's why I posted this video on youtube, figured someone else was going to go through this.
Thanks Eddy it worked. Just disconnected the ground wire from the post waited a few minutes and started the vechicle,2017 Tahoe, and the screen popped up. Thanks Eddy.

Thank you so much for this video. My 2013 car had it's screen go blank over a month and a half ago! It worked as per the video. I have a backup camera once again.
Very glad it worked for you, please help my channel grow by clicking Subscribe.
I went with a black screen for an entire year with this issue. After I saw this video I still had my doubts being how I had to mess with the battery and all. Well it worked!! Unplugged negative connection first then positive connection, left it disconnected for about ten minutes then reconnected battery once again. Turned on my car and could not believe that I had a working screen again. Plus I didn't have to reprogram the windows either. Thank you for this video.
Very glad this also worked for you! Especially after a year I can imagine the frustration.
Thank you for this video. Took only about 5 minutes and it worked! Glad I didn't jump the gun and take it to the dealership. Lord knows how much they would have charged me to fix. :)
A. Lo. Oh yes, a 5 minute "do it yourself" fix is way cheaper than a 5 hour "I'm sorry we couldn't figure out the problem but we unplugged the battery and it started working" fix. I just hope others try this before taking it to a dealer
A. Lo. Did it fix the problem permanently
thanks for the information my screen turns black this morning and I was about to go to the dealer. I just did what you said disconnect the positive battery like 8 minsan or so and it works and screen says it says close the windows and I did the same things and it back to normal. thanks very helpful.
alejandro3561 glad it worked for you. If you experience any other issues feel free to ask and I'll make a video if I know the fix
Just did this to my sons 2014 SS. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video perezjett 1969.
You're welcome. Glad it helped you guys

TY very much, disconnected the battery for 5 minutes and BAM no more blank screen, you're the MAN 👊
Thank you so much for posting this video!! My 2014 Camaro just had the exact same issue - screen black but touch still works. Disconnected the battery, waited 20 minutes, reconnected and screen back to normal. Appreciate the info about resetting the windows, as I had to do that too.
Youre very welcome 🙏 glad it worked out for you!
Work perfect. Didn’t have to reprogram anything which is perfect. Thank you so much.

Youre very welcome 🙏
Thank you, worked like a charm, didn't need to go to dealership!
It's never fun going to the stealership
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was so terrified when my screen would not light up. After trying everything I thought I was going to have to take it to the mechanic. But your video was right on the money. Thank you for all of the help you would not believe how appreciative your advice is.
Well I appreciate your comment very much and sure am happy it fixed your issue. Thank you for your kind words, made my night
Thanks, it works, you have to leave your battery disconnected for at least 10 minutes,
Glad it worked for you!

My screen just did that on Saturdayafter taking it to the dealership to get some work done. Noticed it right after i left and i was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Just now got to work on a Monday as I found your video. Will update later if it worked for me!
Let's cross our fingers and hope it works 🙏
Worked like a charm In my instance i did not have to reset the windows. Left battery unplugged for bout 7-10 minutes.
bludevil2k1 glad it worked and didn't have to reset windows
Hi Eddy just wanted to say thanks. My Tahoe had that problem I just removed the ground wire from the post waited a few minutes and the screen popped right up. Thanks
You're very welcome. Glad it solved your problem. Please subscribe, it really helps my page out
I was having the same problem and it turned out to be my alternator's voltage regulator. I changed out the alternator and no more problems.
But if you think about it, you disconnected the battery so the hot wire from the alternator wouldn't short with anything and then after the repair, reconnected the battery lol. Could have just needed that, we will never know haha
Worked like a charm, buddy, thanks!
Youre very welcome 🙏

My 2017 Chevy My Link screen went black. Everything still worked. The radio had sound and you could touch the screen and operate the system but no picture on screen. I took two fuses out at the same time (radio - F42 and display - F39). They were not blown but waited, put them back in after 10 minutes, and the screen came back on. NOTE: When I took the radio out alone, the screen was still black. I hope it helps.
Lisa Gardner hey i have a 2017 tahoe , same problem just happend. Can you tell me in which fuse box are these the one on the side or in the hood or the one at the drivers feet
Made it happen. Thank you.
Thats awesome!!! Glad it worked out for you
i just got my 2014. 1 year ago..dealer told me Link Screens not covered . $960 to fix it. ima try the Battery pull
I had the same problem lucky for me holding the radio power button for 20 seconds reset it now it works again
Well thats good! But now you know what to do next For next time in case that doesn't work if it ever does happen again.happy new year! God bless!
I’m going to have to give this a try because I am experiencing the exact same issue on my 2013 Camaro. The door open for 10 minutes trick didn’t work which I just tried.
This should work. Please subscribe to help my channel out

Thank you for posting this. I will give update once I have tried your method..Question: this post is from 2017 has this happened again since this video was posted?

And it works !!!!!!!! Thanks for the video ! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Glad it worked for you, I figured it would!
This happen to my camaro 2016 rs ... anyboy know how to fix it?
Just happened to me how did you fix it?
Need to know a fix too
@@cho908 did you fix it just unplug batter in the trunk and plug back in
Did you only disconnect the negative cable, and how long did you wait?
10+ minutes
Thanks for the information
You're welcome 🙏
@@EddiesCustomsandRestorations I'm trying to work on my 2015 Chevrolet Camaro yes I'm a Woman and I'm trying to figure out what battery do i disconnect the one in the truck or the one under the hood please don't laugh at me I'm trying to do it myself Please respond soon Thanks 🙏🏾
@@classylady2279 no need to laugh at someone who is trying to fix their car. Its the effort that is nice to see coming from a girl. So what you want to do is go to your trunk, clear it all, you will see a black circular plastic which is locked in place. Turn it counter clock wise and it will unscrew. Then you are going to pull up this big panel that that was holding down. This will now expose the spare tire area. If you have a spare tire there, the battery is right under it. Then it should be either a 10mm or 11mm socket size that you will use on the next step. Locate the black cable which is your ground, then where the cable meets the battery post you should see a little screw head there that is going to be one of those sizes I just mentioned. Loosen by turning the screw counter clockwise. Once loose, remove the cable completely from the battery post so it is no longer touching the battery post. Then same process with the red. Leave it alone for 10 minutes and then come back and reconnect and put everything back together. Sorry for the late response.
@@EddiesCustomsandRestorations Thank you so much you just don't know how much I appreciate you responding to my message i did exactly as you explained and it worked Again Thanks again what a blessing 🙏🏽

I have the same issue on my 2020 Chevy Equinox. After a lot of online research, I disconnected the battery for about 10 hours. After reconnecting, it worked for about 30 minutes of driving and is back at it again; the screen is occasionally lighting up and goes of again 😞
Nice 👍
Thank you!

While you car is on and running, hold the power button on the radio for 20 seconds. Should stay dark, but now the radio will be unresponsive. Its truely off now. Leave it a minute, then hold it for 20 seconds again.
It should boot up like normal.
You're welcome.
Yea I had tried all of that and none had worked. Good old disconnect the battery method never gets old hahah
Just curious - do you have to disconnect both the negative and positive cables? Would disconnecting just the negative work? TIA
Disconnecting only the negative will work
@@EddiesCustomsandRestorations Well I disconnected both the negative and positive cables for about 40 minutes with no luck - seriously frustrated here... thanks for the video!
Tengo el mismo problema con mi Chevy Cruze 2017 la pantalla de my link está off solo una luz de fondo pero sigue negra voy a probar mañana tu técnica gracias
No ay problema. Espero
Y le funcione
Please help.
I have a 2018 chevy equinox LT and i have only had it for 6 months when i got it, it only had 41,000 miles .... My My link quit working and I found you and some others, i did find the how to reset my link which did not work, i also tried removing the fuse ( that is not burned out) waiting 10 minutes and replacing it both with my vehical turned off and again turned on ( in my book it only shows o e for the radio under the dash up front F42 i think it is, its at the bottom of the pannel under the dash.) Then i watched this one that said to remove the battery cable and i tried that and then i found yet another that says to unplug the blue plug on the passenger side... I tried all of this and none of it worked. Is there anything else i can try before i give up and take it to the dealership?
It was working when i got out of the car but then when i got back in the next morning it would not even turn on. No sound or anything, screens is black. I tried to reset using the onstar button this also did not work.
Mine is the same way. I’ve tried everything but no luck. I’m so upset because Chevy want do anything about it. I brought my truck new in 2016 as well. Any help will be appreciated
So do you have to take both the negative and positive connections off or just the negative and circuit?
Just the negative will do the trick. Leave it disconnected for a little while
11/24/21 woke up to a black screen. Will try this fixer tomorrow to see what happens.
Based on the comments I've received, its a 95% success rate. So im hoping it works for you too.
This worked for my 2015 ss
Sure glad it did. Please click subscribe. Really helps out my channel
But it won't work for my 2015 RS
@@HoodHippy34 did you try it?
Yes checked the fuses and all first it started wit the A/C acting up and then the radio
I just same problem last night I will try tonight
9 times out of 10, this has worked for people
Question- currently experiencing this issue. Did you notice if your “back light” was still lighting up behind the screen? Mine is blank, but you can tell the light is coming on. Also, if I plug my phone in the music plays, but the power button for the stereo does nothing.
I will gladly try this if it might help!
I want to say the back light was also on on mine when it happened
Having this issue with my 2015 Camaro ss. Blank screen but radio playing. Tried this and didn’t work. What did I do wrong?
Can you show me how to disconnect the battery? I’m having the same issue but don’t know how to disconnect the battery?
Victoria Vela to disconnect the battery, you go to where your spare tire would be. Empty out your trunk, lift up on the carpet panel (floor of the trunk) to gain access to where the spare tire would be. The battery is down there. Once you get there, you will see the battery. Disconnect the black cable with a 10 mm socket and ratchet if I remember correctly. Leave it that way for several minutes. Then reconnect it. Do not over tighten the screw. Just snug.
And if you see a guy with a lantern down there, climb back out fast as you can! No matter what he says, it is all lies!
Just to add another experience with a black screen. My 2019 Traverse did this. Total black screen but radio was audible, I could touch the screen where buttons would normally be and it would respond. Radio button would turn it on and off but no effect on volume level when I turned it. I just turned the vehicle off for 20 min, came back and the entire MyLink display turned on when I restarted. Go figure. Someone mentioned it's the sign of a failing battery. Makes me wonder.
Would this work with the mylink radio on a 2013 Chevy Malibu??
It should. And if it doesnt, no harm is done. This just resets everything and usually your radio stations stay there. If this video solves your issue, please help us by subscribing to our channel. Thank you so much in advance.
Any luck on the 2013 Chevy Malibu
Mine came back on after I went onto the store for about 20 minutes. Did it ever happen again? I just bought this truck and just needed to know if I should take back to dealer.
Nope, never happened again after that. And I've owned the car for nearly 3 years now
@@EddiesCustomsandRestorations Cool. Mine just happened this morning so I was just wondering. Thanks!
Is there an option that lets you change color and the door panel?
Not on 2010-2015 for sure
