Screen is so dim that it is useless. Anyone know of a brighter replacement?

Make sure the screen cover is off.

I assume you already tried the brightness adjuster near the gas door release?

I'm not positive, but I think I saw some controls for the screen when I went into Engineering Test Mode to calibrate my MPG.
(There are a lot of things there, and I haven't even tried to figure out any others, so I may be wrong.)

To get to test mode, get in, close the door and buckle your seat belt, then hold "ok" and turn the car on (but don't start it).(On a keyed car turn the key but not to start; for a push button car, push the start button without your foot on the brake.) After holding OK for about 5 seconds you'll see "ET" light up on the top of your dashboard screen, and have a whole series of new menus to look at. (As always be sure to write down what you're changing ...)

You didn't say what you've tried so far, but make sure you've turned the dash brightness all the way up, using the two buttons to the right of the headlight switch. Then, go into the Settings on the Infotainment screen and turn the Display Brightness all the way up.

Thx to all for your comments so far. In response, there is no cover on the screen and I adjusted the controls. I am going to take a look at the engineering test settings.

So this is ridiculous, but I was having the same problem and I found out that a hat I habitually keep on the dashboard of all my vehicles was covering a little light sensor directly in the middle of the dash. I pulled that off and it fixed every issue I had with the brightness

Hello there! Are you still experiencing this concern with your screen? If so, I would like to look into it on my end. Please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer.

I am replying here since I don't see where I can send a private message. I still have the issue. My VIN is 3FTTW8F99PRA48302 . I bought the truck at Crossroads Ford in Fuquay Varina NC. My closest dealer is Capital Ford in Lillington NC.

If you hover over a forum member's name or avatar, your options are "follow," "ignore," and "start conversation." That last one is how to send a DM/PM.
