Tried that and was unsuccessful.
If you've already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the 12V battery and still seeing problems, then it sounds like it's time for a dealer visit to correct it.

The displays are pretty vital for operating the truck, so I'm sure they'll prioritize fixing yours.

Mine is glitchy sometimes. Sometimes it’s black, freezes, no camera. Typically just shut the truck and it returns.

I know about disconnecting the 12- but what’s involved with a soft reset?
Can someone explain the steps?

Your local service shop can evaluate the issues and program the module if that's what is required.

Having issues with the display screen. Have tried all the tricks (key, soft reset and hard reset) none of it has helped. My screen is staying black not even the Ford logo when the car gets started.

Any other tips??

Yes..
Front Trunk aka Frunk
Ford calls it the Mega Frunk(something or other)
Thank you
I've never heard that term before. I'm not the gear head in the family and just know the basics

Sent! Have an appointment scheduled for Oct 31 but in the meantime have no access to the controls for the radio, AC/heater or anything.

Call another dealer. That's ridiculous.

Took it in today. They had a cancellation so we got squeezed in instead of waiting until Halloween. Turned out to be a pinched wire or connecter.

Glad they got it fixed!
How long have you had it?

That is pretty crazy that it worked for a year or so. Hopefully nobody else has that problem.!
