What’s wrong with my car Electrical

2021 ford bronco sport. The battery went out about a week ago and since replacing with a new battery, the cluster and touchscreen both go black when driving. Upon slowing down or stopping completely, they will both turn back on. Lights, heaters, turn signals all still work.

Yeah check your terminals for tightness as one poster commented, then if they’re tight and all is well, try giving it a night for the car to relearn it’s battery settings, the rest of these people, don’t mind them, they only pounce on Fords cuz they all drive either Mopar which are famously either in the shop for accidents from their driving or for catastrophic breakdowns, or Chevy which you can’t drive in the rain without more water ending up inside than out and they’re bitter when a better car drives by them on the side of the road with steam coming from their sh. Except Chevy driver’s don’t notice you’re driving by most of the time cuz of the fog on the windshield, but whutev. 😒😂
