Ford Focus centre display blank?
Discussion
I own a Ford Focus 2011 TDCi 1.6 Titanium. My centre communications panel has suddenly stopped working with no previous symptoms.
All electrics, lighting, auto wipers headlights, air con, radio, mood lighting etc all work as normal. Nothing has stopped working?
When I start my car the display appears blank but in the dark has back lighting visible although you cannot see a thing. Radio works fine and I can change channels on unit or steering wheel, albeit I can’t change to DAB etc as I can’t see what I am changing too. If I press the off button on the unit, the display lights up and displays the date in the top left corner and when I switch back on, this remains displayed until I exit and lock the car.
I have checked fuse 67 in the passenger fuse box and all in tact.
I am not mechanically minded with cars so now at a loss? Has anyone else experienced the same issue or has anyone’s got some simple obvious advice! This car has never once let me down despite all its electric gadgets in 6 yrs ☹️ Hoping it’s simple
Thank you

Solved!!
Thanks guys, as a novice with mechanics your are all a great help.
Simply disconnected the positive for 5 mins, reconnected and hey presto! Everything seems to have reset itself and all good.
Such a simple job for what first appeared as a costly garage visit!
Fantastic help, thank you 👍
