Faded Temp Display

[Fozzy]

Is this normal or is my screen going out? Notice the last zero in the 100 degree outside temp display.

When it's not 3 digits it looks fine.

I’ll check next time it hits over 100 which should be pretty soon

Mine didnt do that

It doesn't usually hit triple digits here so I wouldn't know. Now this winter when it hits negative double digits I might be able to check haha.

It's funny you post this, mine does the same thing. I've given up on small issues, dealers have told me to pack sand on all my minor issues

 

[Fatkid55]

I was wrong, yes it does.

Hit 104 and noticed the fade-out.

At those temps the truck is checking out.

No big deal fortunately

Interestingly this afternoon it was showing 100 and the last 0 and degree symbol was faded. Went to pickup a pizza this evening and it was reading 105 and none of the numbers or degree symbol was faded.

It might be a software problem, not a screen problem. It's weird how it will read 2 digits fine in the same location.

That's what I thought was interesting. Seems like the degree is in the same location whether it was 2 digits or 3 digits.

I'll be out and about today so I'll glance at it from time to time since it will be in the triple digits. If I remember to I'll put it in night mode to see if it has the same issue against the blue background.

Mine does it only when it’s exactly at 100. Anything over or under and it looks fine.

You are right, I just noticed today it was 105 parked in the sun. It looked perfect. The temp went down to 98 after driving it. Only 100 even was faded looking. Glad it's not the screen with the parts problem going on right now.

Same. Did fine in anything other than 100 in both day and night mode. 100 triggered the faded look.

This seems to be happening in sync. Mine is now always connected to car play and I don’t see this anymore.

Mine looks great in all conditions on anything EXCEPT 100 degrees exactly. I get the same faded look. Gotta be a software issue - seems we all have it.

Same here, my truck typically reads higher than it really is, so the other day it said 108 (it had been sitting in the sun): no blemish. It dropped to 100: blemish, down more: no blemish.

Yep. Same here. Also, the temp doesn’t seem to be calibrated to anything very close to the ambient temp. It runs very hot. My Ram did this when I first cranked it up. But after 10-15 mins I’d driving it would adjust to normally around 1 degree at max over the temp. This truck seems to run 4-6 degrees hotter than it truly is. Not a huge deal but I’d figure with all of the technology that’s out there that ford would have this detail down. My wife’s 21 Highlander is plait on usually too. So, it can be done.
