Vehicle information center quit

The term "information center" on a 2001 Dodge Durango typically refers to the vehicle's dashboard display that provides the driver with various information such as the current time, outside temperature, fuel level, and trip odometer. It may also include a message center that displays warning messages or notifications about the vehicle's systems.

I would start with the Fuse Box under the hood. Start by pulling the Fuse's 1 at a TIME!! I have done it befor time & time agean. It's probley by the Battery. It's a black box that has " Main Fuse " or something alone that line. There just like the Fuses under the Dash, BUT BIGGER! They can be hard to tell if they blew. I have done it so, much that I know. If it's not that I would check the Fuse Box in the Dash. Jerry Dunn

You will need to remove the vehicle information display module and send it out to a GM certified repair center. The problem you have can't be fixed at home.

check your fuse panel for blown fuses- if you have owners manual - check inside for location of panel and which fuses you should check

Some thing is shorted, was the vehicle in an accident? or did some one boosted other vehicles with your vehicle?

Hope this helps:- Factory Disarm Purple/Yellow (-) Driver's Kick Panel Black Connector at ECM -slice into this wire, & wire it to ground, this disables the alarm.

I am having the same issue in my 2001 MDX. It just appeard one day. Since then it has moved. It started out on the far right and is now in the center. ???

the pcm is located under the lower portion of the passenger dash. you need to remove the black plastic cover held down by 2 7mm bolts. it has red white and blue connectors. not sure on the steering wheel but i'm quite sure you need to remove the center bolt and use a steering wheel puller to remove it. then put the new one on by tightening the center bolt until wheel is fully pressed in.

Check all of your fuses - there are ones that are responsible for the illumination and the operation of them. Next, go buy the repair manual for your vehicle at the auto parts store. Those manuals run about 20 bucks, and they cover quite a bit, from location of parts on your vehicle, to trouble shooting problems, to removal and installation of dashes and other parts and trim on your vehicle. That book comes in so handy that it can not be stressed enough to go buy one for your vehicle when you own one. Not only will it have the answer to most questions and help you solve them, but it will also at least, help you be better informed when you go in for service/repair. And most dash removals are a combination of undoing specific fasteners and unsnapping parts of it. It'll make sense when you look at the book.
