No Menu settings for it, funny thing is neither have worked all day, until I just drove home from somewhere, both were working OK.

Wondering if battery voltage was low :-\ :-\ :-\

The good news is - no fault codes.

The bad news - battery voltage low.

Put it on a trickle charger overnight, see if it fixes problem?
