what drugs is my Maverick taking?

[RatherBeDrivingaManual]

I woke up this morning and I had to ask myself... am I seeing things as they are not... or was my Maverick taking LSD last night? (not disclosing how I would know what that looks like).

Being serious... everything had this distorted, ghosty, blurry, topographic map effect to it. Even the Ford logo on startup & shutdown.

If you don't talk to your Maverick about drugs...someone else will.

When in doubt, reboot.

Yea... let's talk.

A bad trip starts with tripping alone. Sharing is caring.

I actually tried that. I shut the truck off. Opened the door, took the key out. Gave it many seconds. Shut the door. Started the truck a second time. Same issue with the screen.

Issue went away later, aka was not present next time I drove.

Next time, you can give this a try (obviously the button locations are different than the reference graphic):

Press and hold both the Power button (center of the Volume knob) and the Seek Right button for 10 seconds.

That's not very reassuring. Sounds like maybe a loose connection or a miscommunication. I'd be removing it and checking connections. It is a very easy process to remove if you run into it again so you can troubleshoot before throwing the warranty into the mix (hopefully not needed) to at least double check for any loose connections or bad wiring. I dunno... after the one report of someone's vehicle basically melting from behind the dash... a bit worrying.

Mushrooms and camping...the best of BOTH worlds!

@jsus got it, hold power & FF, thank you.

@Montana if that doesn't do it then I'll pull some trim off & start looking for connections to reseat.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Maverick concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Cheap electronics can prove to be expensive.

We need a Florida cattle farmer in our midst to help us out with this. Anyone?
