Hi Folks,
A few weeks ago I got a red line at the top of my Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) screen that would come and go. Then last week, the screen started giving me quite the light show while I was driving (flashing, glitching, changing colours, etc.). The next day when I went to take the car out, all I got was a white screen when I opened the door, and the screen has stayed white since.

Everything else works, gauges are fine, I can still change Drive Modes (by memory), and all the alerts seem to come through with the light between the temp/fuel gauges. I pulled the positive cable from the battery last night for 20 minutes to try a reset, but nothing changed. This actually happened a year ago too, right after I bought it, but it started working again until now.
Anyone else had this problem on their RS? Seems like it's common on other Ford models, and as such, aftermarket replacement screens are available, but they seem to differ depending on Speedometer type. However, I can't find anything specifically for the RS. The P/N from Ford (GM5Z-10D885-A) is discontinued. I think I'll pull the cluster and the display, see if there's a bad connection or something as a next step.
Cheers
