I just got done with a full afternoon of repairs (both headrests, passenger seat recline, antenna mast replacement, marker light replacement, etc.). I sat in the driver seat to relax, cranked up the car and tunes on the radio. Ironically, Peace of Mind by Boston was wailing. I turned on the (factory) nav, and no display. To further the fun, I lost all control of the radio function. I turned off the ignition, restarted, and regained control of the radio, but still no nav. What the Family?

 

If I start the car, turn it off, and then restart shortly afterwards, the NAV stays blank for quite a while. Take it for a drive and see what happens.

I still have my own Gremlins. Welcome to the club!

 

Thanks so much. It's good to know others have experienced this (and aren't panicking).

 

Has the Nav worked before? Reason I ask is there has to be a disc in it even for the clock to work.

 

Yes. It did work fine before. I've only had the car for a week or so, but each time I fired it up (4-5x), the nav worked, too. Maybe because I've made so many repairs on the car in such a short period of time, it decided to throw me a curve ball...

 

We should list our daily gremlins. Tonite the passenger side seatbelt got jammed, the pass. window would not go down for a while and the CD player stopped working,....and the dash said tailight was out, ....and....too much to list! But what a great ride.

P.S. And the A/C is on strike.

 

 

There has to be an Invisible Sun...

 

Did you move anything on the NAV disk player while replacing the antenna,, also check fuse.

 

Just be glad they are Ghosts and not Goats, that could get messy,

If you miss a payment on your exorcist, do you get reposessed?

 

All good questions. Payments are current. Goats would indeed be messy, but more definitive. Didn't mess with anything while replacing the antenna mast (at least I don't think so). If it ever stops raining around here, I'll check the disk and fuse. Thanks, folks!
