Try turning it off and on, or disconnecting the battery for a bit?

I agree. Disconnect your battery and see if that is a fix. I had a screen go bad on my Explorer at 29k miles. Hopefully it just needs to be reset.

Should be good with that. If it doesn't come back up you'll probably need to have warranty claim. I'll check if there is a fuse for the dash display you could check as well

Thanks, fuse looked good to me

On my Jeep, if you hold down the two big buttons below the display for about five to ten seconds, it resets and the screen powers up. It’s the volume dial on the left and tuner dial on the right. I just press down and hold. Not sure if that helps, I don’t have a bronco yet to even know if there’s something similar.

I did that also, no luck.

I seem to have more success leaving the battery unplugged for 30 minutes than 5. So many computers with very little power draw, seems to take a while for all the power to dissipate compared to years past. Unlike the old days of large capacitors being needed for faster startups (Storing power between on/off cycles).

Let's hope it is some kind of a connection or software glitch. Still a decent chance it is needing to be replaced or even have the dealership reset it.

In the computer world they hold the power button to dissipate the residual energy. I'm sure holding the start button while the battery is disconnected could net the same outcome I think.

Sorry did not work

What did you unplug, the positive or negative cable from the battery ? You need to unplug the NEGATIVE.
