Hints, Tips and Tricks
If I recall correctly from reading the manual, that key fob "holder" is where you place a new fob to program it to work with your truck. There is a procedure that you follow.
A couple of other nice surprises that I've noticed are as follows - these are on the 8" display in the instrument cluster and may or may not apply to the 4" displays:
When setting the cruise control, the truck shows you the set speed, such as 65.
When you have the navigation screens displayed in the instrument cluster, the display will also show you the speed limit for the road you are on.
Nice touches, these!

I've seen a few different threads about this or that, but I was wondering if we could consolidate all of the neat things that you might not know about or don't want to spend time reading the intricacies of the manual to find out.
For example, the thread on getting the transmission gear to show up in the instrument cluster, what the keyhole near the license plate is for, how to get the darn weather to show up on the productivity screen, etc.
If it's a good idea, run with it. If not, feel free to delete! I know I've learned a bunch of new things about my truck on this site. Chalk it up to this being my first new Ford and not being familiar with the Ford layout, or my laziness to browse all of the threads (because search sucks) to find new things.

This isn't a Hint, Tip or Trick. Best to search for similar threads, or start your own thread so as not to derail or clutter this thread.
Are you sure it's your check engine light or just the low washer fluid light coming on?
It's 2 separate issues, the check engine has nothing to do with your wiper fluid. Wiper fluid should be fairly easy to diagnose: check all the fluid lines for blockages, does the pump turn on?

Can anyone tell me what to do about my wiper fluid not pumping up. I also would like to say that my check engine light comes on once I get down to half of a tank. Once I fill it up, it goes off. This is on my 2019 F150 4x4. Ford's computer says its my catalytic converter.
