Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing issues with the radio and GPS screen intermittently going black or displaying squiggly lines. These problems may stem from various factors, including loose connections, software glitches, or hardware malfunctions. Additionally, issues with the electrical system or faulty components can contribute to screen malfunctions. Owners are advised to check all connections, including the antenna, and test the radio fuse for integrity, as a blown fuse could cause screen issues. Some owners also report intermittent electrical problems that may cause the screen to blank out while remaining backlit, which can sometimes resolve on its own. Furthermore, erratic Bluetooth connections with phones can disrupt the functionality of the infotainment system. To effectively address these concerns, it is recommended to follow troubleshooting steps, check the electrical system, and ensure proper connectivity. If issues persist, consulting a professional or contacting Chevrolet for assistance may be necessary to resolve the underlying causes of the screen malfunctions.
