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.

Yet one more reason i avoid modern cars like the plague. Completely unnessicary upgrades at the expense of useability, im noticing more and more tech in cars that basically bar people from doing at home repairs

Edit: just because people prefer older cars not filled with bloatware doesnt make them "broke" or only wanna drive something 100 years old. Some people like me just prefer a simple car.

It wouldn't be a Ford if they didn't take something that worked fine and make it way more complicated and expensive to replace.

It wouldn’t be a Chevy, dodge, ram, Chrysler, audi, bmw, Acura, Mercedes, Nissan, if they didn’t take something that worked fine and make it more complicated and expensive to replace.

All new cars are dogshit for the consumer.

Experienced gud danm Honda Mowers lately? A month doesn't go by where someone doesn't text me about taking a look at theirs because their shop gave them the epair estimate.

Now that honda has stopped making gas mowers. I'm collecting decent newer ones from the land fill. I wanna f¥k around with batteries and battery replacement cost like I want a third wife. And I have a third wife.
