The ICC screen has died suddenly. Is it likely I need to replace the battery?
Asked by Darcy
The ICC screen on my 2014 G6E Ford Falcon has died suddenly. The display screen is completely blank and unresponsive. The air-con, radio and reverse sensors work but no Bluetooth, reverse camera or anything else on the screen. I bought the car second hand from a dealership (76,000km on the clock) five months ago so I don't know the repair history. Is it likely I need to replace the battery?

22 Apr 2022This is a pretty common issue of this generation of Falcons. The problem usually occurs if the car’s battery goes flat or has recently been replaced. Sometimes you might get the screen to reboot, but even if it does, the end is often nigh as the unit is dying. It’s worth a shot, though, so try disconnecting the relevant fuse for at least 15 minutes with the ignition turned off. If it comes good after reconnecting the fuse, you might be lucky. But you might also be simply delaying the inevitable.
The problem lies in a circuit-board within the ICC system and the fix is generally to replace the screen for an aftermarket head unit.
