Sorry for the obvious question but has the OP done a battery reset? This can cure all sorts of gremlins by disconnecting the car main battery for 30mins.

First time I've ever heard of it.
Otherwise people tend to recommend a main battery disconnect for half-an-hour, if that fails then Toaf can reactivate remote boards.

I hadn’t heard of it either until recently.
However, this procedure is well documented, as it carries out a hard re-boot, with capacitor discharge, when a system has got confused.
A few days ago, SWMBO’s Peugeot 308’s central display failed to display and I fixed it by using this method.
It involves disconnecting the battery leads, and keeping them well away from battery terminals, then connect them by touching, or my preferred method, is to use a link lead with crocodile clips.
I have never tried it on my Rover 75 as a battery disconnect has cured a multiple of electrical sins for me.
