Anyone have an issue with not being able to fully brighten their 12” screen? It’s not black (yet...thankfully) but I got in the truck this morning after a drive and the screen AND the AC indicators lights on the dials and switches will not fully brighten. The dimmer buttons on left side panel can dim but not brighten the display and indicators fully.
The FORD logo will be bright as normal for a sec then go dim after it is turned On.
Adjusted "DISPLAY" settings on screen but no change after the Halfway mark
Power cycle numerous times throughout the day so far=No Luck
Hard Reset with buttons=No Luck
Factory RESET on screen=No change

Not sure it'll help but plan on disconnecting / connecting battery after work and see if that helps anything

UPDATE:
Disconnected battery last night, waited 20min and connected. = No change
Drove around and sit display mode to “Day” as bright as it would adjust. Hated the look , normally in Night Mode.
This morning start up , Night Mode, half brightness and everything normal……

Happy of course but wondering if some over the air update missed with something yesterday…….No clue

Mine has done that late in the day when I was driving directly away from the sun even though it was still fairly bright outside.

Not sure of where the light sensor is but I’ve heard of times when people put hats or gloves over the sensor so it thinks it’s dark outside so interior lights dim. Have anything on the dash?

Annoying but hopefully it stays away for good
