So I changed my battery and my instrument cluster flipped itself

[MFnuns]

Any ideas on a fix for this? Have tried letting it sit with no power for several hours, pulling instrument cluster fuse, resetting to factory defaults from the infotainment center. All I did was replace my battery with a new one because the OEM battery doesn't cut it in Alaska.

I have never seen anything like this before. It sounds like you've done all that there is to do. I read that it might fix itself:



I thought I included a Reddit thread about this problem on Hyandais.

Update:

Tried all kinds of tricks to reset the dash or factory reset. Different discharges, talked to Mazda corporate, talked to the dealership. Thanks to those of y'all that offered helpful suggestions, and glad lots of folks got a good laugh. It fixed itself once I drove a couple of miles down the road on the way to the dealer. Poof, and it was right side up. Such a strange mirror flip saga, no one at Mazda had heard of anything like that happening.”

The funny thing is, driving a few miles is usually the way to clear the alerts on other makes/models as well.

So I changed my battery and my instrument cluster flipped itself

Strange issue, the car flipping the instrument display upside-down. Particularly with something so commonplace as swapping-in a new battery.

Then it fixed itself. Kind of reminds me of my old adage during the 1980s as we saw the rise of the personal computer: When all else fails, turn the sucker off and restart things. Which sort of worked in this case.

The more things change, the more some things stay the same I guess.
