The cracked ribbon cable fixes the problem. I went to 2 Chrysler dealerships and neither could fix the issue. One wanted $500 just to investigate the issue and the other wanted $925 to replace the center module (TV). I paid $20 and spent 45 minutes and all my tv's work now!!!!!

Does the 2nd row monitor do anything? Blank or split screen without signal?
Does the 3rd row do anything? Blank or split screen without signal?
Who replaced the cable? Which monitor did the new cable get installed into? 2nd or 3rd row? Did the cable get installed upside down?

Sorry didn't put enough info . In the video it showed the blank middle screen and the rear as a split screen . We have seen this before but after what seemed to be like an hour or if we hit a bump the rear would come back on but still blank black screen on middle monitor. And it has stayed like this for almost a year , till I saw the video and ordered the cable. I myself put the cable in the middle monitor as shown . I have much experience with car audio and install so it was a snap. When I put everything back together however still the same result the middle monitor still black/blank and rear still works.

Why the 2nd row did not come back on after replacing cable is the strange part. Double check that the connections are correct with the new cable in the 2nd row. The video shows the correct orientation of the cable. Also check that the ZIF sockets are allowing the cable to slide in easily, then are holding tight when the ZIF latches are engaged.
Just to clarify, is the 3rd row actually showing a DVD movie or just the blank split screen?
Hope this helps.
