Default Instrument cluster issue

2018 Platinum, for the last few days, my IC has been defaulting to the trailer view. Not sure why, I do not and have not ever towed anything. It is supposed to be on the custom view (my view, whatever it is called). I change it to what I want, then it goes back to trailer tow view on next startup. Any ideas????

TIA

Go to the towing menu where it lists trailers and select no current trailer or no trailer connected (can't remember the wording) and see if that jump starts it back to normal on the next power cycle.

I think I have done that, but will give it another go tomorrow morning before leaving for work. I may have done it while moving. Tks
