Help

Took my 2014 V8V for a ride earlier today.
The display areas in the tach and speedo gauges are completely without any info i.e. no odometer, TPMS, etc.
Did I turn it off or is there a problem?
Yellow triangle stays on as well

Thanks
Car runs fine

Larry, Push the button at the end of the left arm on the steering wheel to go to different settings as there is one that shows nothing. As for the yellow triangle, as you cycle the different view you will see what the triangle is for and you can "Read" it and accept it by pressing the "Read" button in the center stack.

The end of the left stalk seems to do nothing.
How do I specifically define the meaning of the yellow triangle?
Much appreciate the response.
Car has only 500 miles
Always in climate controlled environment
Never wet

Larry, I just tried it in my 2009 Vantage... You have to close all doors, trunk, hood and start the car and then when you push on the button at the end of the left arm it will cycle different output (ie: gas left in the tank, MPG, average speed, current speed, blank

Did as you instructed
The yellow triangle did go out but the button at the end of the stalk is still inoperable.
Is there a fuse
I have a feeling that I am missing something very simple
Much thanks

The triangle was probably for an open door... I would look in the manual and see if there is a fuse, never had that problem before. if you take the car out for a drive, every thing else work ie: needle on the speedo and tach ?? I will look in the manual and see if I can find something

the only fuse that I see could be this one but if blown more stuff wouldn't be working:

Cabin Fuses

Fuse Rating Function

F46 5A

Driver Information / Master lamp switch /
Glove box relay / Master lock switch /
Battery disconnect switch / Trunk lid release
/ Engine bay fusebox / Bluetooth / CCM
Switcher / Battery disconnect module /
Convertible roof module (Roadster) /
Occupant classification system module.

He's referring to the legendary Convertible Roof Module. My saga with that spawn of Satan continues...

Precisely... First sign of CRM failure/CAN network down is instrument display issues.

Dimmer switch was of no help
Everything seems to work but the gauge displays
Very frustrating
