Are you changing the “display mode” (or whatever it’s called) using the left hand menu button on the steering wheel?

I got it. I also at the same time installed an LED dome light.(2 NEW BATTERIES) Auto parts store said it was correct one. Tonight after dark got in truck. dome light just barley on. took out the new LED bulb. and the dash went crazy, and went out of engineering mode and works as should. I forgot about putting in the dome light when replacing the batteries oh the little things!!!!!!!! who would think a bulb would mess with the (smart junction box). I guess do one thing at a time from now on. Thank you for the reply's. sorry I was no clear enough Ill try to do better in the future. I'm an old man ya know!!! . Oh I had an old regular bulb in the draw that I put in.

That is weird as I have had LED cabin lights for a couple of years now with no issues.
