First Edition center screen

[21FETXCA]

My FE only has 15k miles on it so its still under warranty. My center screen is black. It was glitching for a week or so and would restart while driving sometimes but now its been black for 2.5 weeks. I tried the power button and skip fwd reset it didnt work, I unhooked battery didnt work, and changed fuses it didnt work. I made an appointment for last Monday at a Ford dealership but the tech called out so the dealership had to reschedule and told me it would be mid September. I called two other dealerships one (star ford never called me back from last week and I just called again and the phone literally rang for 5 minutes with noone picking up), and the other dealership which is 40 mins away I set an appointment but have yet to get a confirmation from the online system. I currently have no phone, radio, back up camera, nav, or charging capability and Im frustrated being I have an 8 hr trip this weekend. I asked the first dealership if they could give me a loaner as they have in the past they said no. I was just wanting my car fixed before I do this 8hrs of driving Saturday but it seems noone wants to work or answer the phone. So let down by Ford they can get you in for a oil change fast but if its anything technical it seems to be weeks or months out. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything else I can try since I cant get a dealer to help in a timely manner?

My FE is experiencing same symptoms at 12k. Diagnosed a couple weeks ago, new APIM just arrived at my dealer for replacement.

I had a similar issue that turned out to be a loose cable. Check under the dash on the passenger side.

get nearly free forscan , and you can reset that module yourself with a laptop. super easy.

also if your brave, have a few more $, and some time you can buy a mongoose adapter, and a 2 day version of FDRS and then completely reconfigure the module, re program it as well as trouble shoot anything on the vehicle.

IMHO this is the future of owning computerized vehicles one must self educate enough to to address issues that may arrise.
