I have an 02 Rubicon and just recently the Display went blank. I checked the connections and they are good, no corrosion.

The weird part is if I pull the 30A fuse while the ignition is on and then put the fuse back in the display will activate and work. But as soon as I turn ignition off and back on display is blank again. At this point I'm at a loss as to what it could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Bad/ weak connection somewhere. First question is, is your battery fully charged and good? If so, check and clean your connections (can't hurt anything doing this, even if it doesn't solve the problem)

Take the connections apart, hose them out with connection cleaner (CRC makes one) and then put them back together with dialectic grease.

Battery is only a few months old and fully charged, so I know that isn't the culprit.

I took apart the 2 display connections, cleaned them and then applied dialetic grease before connecting them back. I also cleaned the battery connections and applied dialetic grease just to be sure.

Is there another set of connections I need to be looking at?

Clean them all. I'll pull the fuses and hose out the fuse box with cleaner too. Make sure you're getting good contact there.

Thanks! I did notice the fuse box had definite corrosion. I'll give that a try along with all other connections.

I actually had the main fuse on my 06 Foreman get to the point where it would just die while I was riding, and I could wiggle the fuse and it would start back up. I tried cleaning the sockets, but no resolution there so I ended up cutting the wires to that fuse off the bottom of the fuse box and wiring in a new inline fuse socket.
