Hard Reset Model 3 (Cameras not working, no GPS functionality and car won't go to sleep)

[OzVic]

After a hard reset while back at home, only the side cameras work while the GPS still shows I am at the office.

The one time the GPS lost where it was for me, it took a good 15-30 minutes of driving before it came to it's senses. Maybe give it some time.

The GPS almanac takes 12.5 minutes to send - if you start up at a random time, it could take anywhere from 12.5 to 25 minutes to receive it - so that sounds about right for a cold start GPS.

It's reset for now, although the side cameras still take a bit to load after startup. I did make an appointment with service, which is a little bit more than a week out. If it continues to be alright, I'll cancel my appointment.

Well it's been over a year but the same issue popped up again. The same solution I originally posted fixed the problem, in case anyone was curious.

For me, I ended up having the entire GPU replaced under warranty. Initial diagnostic was that it was software but later, when it persisted, even when I was picking up the car, it ended up being replaced.

This just happened to me today. Everything stopped working (all cameras and Navigation). After two hard resets still nothing. I drove about 30 min and it slowly came back. Will try the battery trick next time. Thank you

It's crazy how much they're just like computers. Hard resets, removing power, etc. It's great

The same GPS failure and nonfunctional backup camera just happened to my 2021 Model 3.

From this thread and on google it looks like the same issue has been happening since 2018, at least.

Most people just needed a hard reset (unplug the 12v battery). Others needed Tesla to help in some way.
Some just happened once. Others happened multiple times within a few days.

@Tronguy used this method to resolve:
one way to solve this is:

1. Turn off all the autopilot options.
2. two-wheel thumbset reset.
3. Turn on all the autopilot options.

That didn't solve the GPS issue for me. But I then did the following:
4. Power Off
5. two-wheel thumb reset (again)
6. Waited perhaps 10 minutes
7. Drove around the block (FSD Beta worked to see the road and cars, but map still stuck)
8. Then the GPS magically fixed itself.

As for the rear view camera, The first two-wheel thumb button reset fixed it.

This exact issue happened to my 2022 MYP! No GPS, no camera view, no auto high beam, headlights turned on on default, screen stuck @ day view, car does not sleep. Goinv to try the battery trick and will report back.

A shortcut that may work rather than physically disconnecting battery, terminal under rear seat, etc ..

Either: 1. Change the language. Reboot (automatic). Change it back. Reboot (automatic).
or 2. Change the tyre configuration to a different wheel. Reboot (automatic). Change it back. Reboot (automatic).

This may achieve the same desired result.

Thanks for the tip! I created a new thread in the MY section: 2022 MYP GPS stuck, no cameras, cannot sleep
