I lost power to my Auxiliar lightbar outlet, I probably tripped an e-fuse or something. What is the procedure to 'hard reset' the Cybertruck in the hope that the fault will be cleared? Holding down both buttons reboots but does not fix the issue. Thanks.

Wild guess here, but if you blew a fuse or some sort of breaker, probably need to locate that and replace it. Resetting the Tesla shouldn't auto-do that.

usually an E-FUSE. Let the car go into a deep sleep for 15 min. sentry mode and outlets have to be off
You can also try the power off button under safety and dont touch the car for 10 min or so

Teslas have breakers that auto-reset. I am thinking is most likely software a software problem because when I crank the volume up I do hear some sound back there, just very very little.

Didn't help my rear speakers issue. I am not confident the Cybertruck even did a hard power off as the ambient and dome lights stayed on after everything else went off. I tried it 3 times. Any ideas will be appreciated. :confused:

The Owner's Manual specifies how to power-cycle:

I tried this procedure just now. It look at least 30 seconds for the A/C and interior lights to shut off, and another minute before it "beeped" and the mirrors folded in.

Did you check the sound-system balance/fader controls?

I waited 5 minutes, screen, fan, etc. shut off. I don't recall if there was a beep or the mirrors folded. The Dome lights stayed on and ambient lights stayed on, which I have set to ON rather than Auto. I will try again. You stayed inside, right?

I used the balance to be sure the rears weren't working right. Full to the rear at 11 it sounds like a transistor radio from the 60s. :rolleyes:

Those who advised patience were right. The problem resolved itself overnight. Teslas are not like other vehicles. ?

Teslas are like this! My backup camera wouldn't work, no matter what reset I did it wouldn't come back on. Setup a support ticket. Got a reply next morning, and next morning it was working again and NEVER had an issue after.....Gotta love it :D
