Two odd things today. (2012 F150)


Switched over to Trip A display today and found the attached photo. Trip B display is fine. Anyone ever run across this before and know what it is?


Also, even though I turn the wipers off 75% of the time they continue to run in slow-intermittent mode. I'm thinking dirty contacts within the stem but I'm just guessing.


Hoping someone can help with these.


Thanks in advance.

Did you do anything in forscan? Have you removed battery for some time and reconnected?

Nothing with Forscan and battery hasn't been removed. Display just occurred today while driving.

I believe you can pause the trip meter. Don't quote me on that.

Press "ok" on the steering wheel to unpause.

Hey JJM, you were right. Looked up "ford f150 pausing trip computer" and found the fix. Just hit OK. Durned if I know how I Paused it but it's back to normal again. Thanks.

No problem. Sorry I can't help with the wiper issue but it seems like I've seen quite a few posts about that lately.

If you touch and quickly release the "OK" button you pause that trip meter. It can happen when turning the steering wheel without you realizing it.

Yup, it just paused the timer. I turn that on if I have the radio or something on, but the engine off.

No idea about the wipers though.

So the timer will advance with the key in acc position?

Yes, it does.
