Camera Issue After Towing?

Howdy. I have a 2018 F250 with 360 camera and pull a 5th. I pull often....

During the last pull my camera system became stuck in a weird mode even unhooked. It won't go into forward camera view at all. When I go into reverse the camera goes into the very close up rear view and not the normal 360 view. I can't access the other views. Radar appears to work normal I think. Also, it seems like radar was working correctly when pulling when it normally doesn't. I have never used the radar sensor while pulling or "trailer guidance" or whatever. Never set up the trailer guidance or trailer radar thing. Did not have anything out of the normal happen during the pull.

Any idea how to fix?

I don't think many here have those cameras yet. Have you tried a factory reset.

I would also try the reboot of the Sync system. I pulled this from Google:

Press the Volume / Power **** and the "next track" button at the same time for 5 seconds. The SYNC unit will power down and restart.

Update:

Reset the sync. Checked and unplugged/replugged all my camera connectors (that I am aware of at least).

No changes. Really don't want to go to the dealer. ugh

The head unit appears confused. I don't have any claim to having a lot of experience on these, but have a bit in electronics in general.

If it were me, I'd disconnect the batter(y/ies) for like twelve hours then reconnect and see what happens.
