Your truck isn't rolled onto its side, is it?

Did you mistakenly change the theme to a 10 or 12 inch screen size using Forscan?

Yes tried the power button and right seek, and until this happened I had not used forscan for several months. No other problems other than half a screen, no icons or touch. Thanks for the suggestions. What are the indications of a bad apim.

Could this have happened because of a automatic update from Ford? Put what back to original?
