Vanished

[Maxine the Max]

I have a 2019 Max, we've had it since the first of April. On the instrument panel there is a small rectangular screen to the left of the main display screen, that displays the transmission positions. Mine is suddenly blank. Is there a way to restore it? I looked through all the menus and didn't see anything. We did have the Max at the body shop to repair a gouge in the bumper from the original owner. The dealership had tried to use touch up paint but it looked terrible. I'm assuming the body shop had to disconnect the battery with all the sensors back there. Could that have caused the screen to go blank?

Yes there is but I cannot remember it. mine Disappeared and the dealer made it re-appear. Has something to do with the buttons near the gear selector. Sorry but I don’t remember exactly.

The plus and minus buttons on the bottom of the gear selector , press the plus and the numbers should appear again

That didn't do the trick.

You need to have it in Drive and then hit the Plus.

While still in Drive and all 10 are shown, hitting the minus will prevent the vehicle from shifting into that gear. Basically, you can turn off overdrive.

Bingo! Got it back on! Thank you for taking the time to explain.

So does that mean I have been driving around for the last 4 or 5 days in a different gear, not overdrive? Whoops.

Doubtful that you shut down any gears. I think it was just hidden.

That's a relief! This vehicle does more things then I will ever figure out, or need it to. But it's an awesome Mom bus!

There too many buttons on the center that get bumped by accident. I put mine in 4wd by accident some times. have lost the gear position like this person too. Took a bit to figure how to put them back. I use mine for hauling tools and supplies. My "work" truck. I was hoping it would be more like the excursion than a car..

Thank you Lou Hamilton. The gear display had never shown up on my 2019 4WD Max and I often wished Ford had included it. I just turned it on and am very pleased.
