So I purchased a used 2020 with less than 60k miles on it from a dealership and everything was fantastic until one day last week nothing happened when i pushed the start/stop. I also noticed the instrument panel wasn't coming on fully..

I tested the battery, checked fuses.. all fine.

Looks for bad wires.. etc. Nothing I can see.
Center console still worked normal. Stereo, lights, hazards... everything but no start and no instrument panel save for the "park"

I read a thread somewhere and this gentlemen had a very similar issue and he fixed it by, and I quote "banging on the shifter, Uninstalling and reinstalling the shift box and banging on it some more"

So I popped rhat open and discovered the previous owner poured what appears to be an entire caramel machiatto into area below the shifter. I cleaned and inspected and it doesn't seem this after market octane booster affected anything beyond just being sticky and abundant.

While i was in there and plugged/unplugged the shift box i noticed the center console was TRYING to start up but it was glithcy. This happened when testing the battery as well.



Luckily it happened at work so I can leave it without worry but after about 4 days now it has no power at all to anything. I can't lock it. No lights. Nothing. The battery is full.

I cant begin to express how much this is messing my life up right now. This is my first financed "new" vehicle and covid messed my credit up so I'm getting fleeced on this thing. The dealer I got it from says I refused the extended warranty he never offered me and that I need to take it somewhere else but my paperwork states I have a limited warranty and taking it somewhere else will void it.

I start work before and get done after anyone working at LR in town here M-F so I'm limited in how much progress I can make in figuring out what I'm sposed to do with it.

It has to be some simple electrical or computer nonsense that would take 2 minutes to fix.

 

Did you get any answers what the fault was
