AFFECTED VEHICLES

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article replaces “No DVD Picture, No Compass Calibration, Security Alarm Goes Off,” posted in August 2013.

 

A soft set or bad connection at C505 in the right A-pillar can cause any or all of these symptoms:

 

• No picture on overhead screen (any source)
• No sound from wireless headphones (any source)
• Compass won’t calibrate (models without navigation)
• Security system alarm randomly goes off
• Interior lights flicker
• Rear climate controls won’t work
• No image in rearview monitor (if equipped)
• Rearview mirror won’t automatically dim

NOTE: Any of these symptoms can be intermittent. 

 

To fix this problem, check the connector and reset it if needed. If the connection is good, continue with normal troubleshooting.
