Highline failure

GBCB1986 · 17th January 2021, 18:57

Hi all, I’ve been have issues with my highline system screen not working. I had a look in the boot and yes there was some water so I dried it out and found the video module fan not running. I finally got a working unit, fitted it and exactly the same has happened. Screen backlight on but black with a blue line on the right hand side. What’s going on?......I’m lost.

Hi Graham,

Have you closely inspected the video module connectors for water damage to the terminals?

Yes, they look fine to me. As the fan isn’t running, im thinking that there isn’t any power getting to the unit. What pin powers up the video module? If I can get power to it I was wondering if I could prove the modules.

Black connector with blue cover, pin 1 is a permanent feed of 12v from the car's battery. The earth is pin 10.
There is a separate earth for the LCD display on pin 12.

I’ll have a try later to see if it’s the modules, board monitor or car.

Nope still getting the same result with both video modules. Blank screen, backlit with a blue line on the right hand side.
