Weird Question - does your gear selection (PRNDM) illuminate at night?

[tjnoffy]

Yes but...
"But the ideal and most comfortable steering wheel position for me covers up the bottom of that display."

I learned that 10 and 2 were where my hands belonged in the 70's. Then I learned it was 8 and 4 with the advent of air bags in the steering wheel. Now it's 12 and 12???

No. To be clear, which I think I was, when I adjust my tilt on the steering wheel, from my field of view (from where I sit looking at the dash) the steering wheel covers up that indication. No hands on the wheel at all. It's the most annoying when going from P to D or R at night. All you can do is count clicks. Not a big deal when already driving around. Do you even have a Bronco yet to tell me how it looks?

I better fire up the steering wheel and see what's what.

What’s crazy is how hot the seats get, but the wheel plain sucks. Maybe when it’s like 20 outside and your hands are frozen it’s more noticed? Still weak compared
To every other vehicle I’ve owned

FWIW I understood your point on steering wheel/column position

Ah, got it. Didn't gather that part. My reply was more facetious than anything since I couldn't envision the issue. Guess my humor missed the mark.

And, yes, I've had my OBX for over a month, and seeing the selected gear on the dash has never been a problem. Just a matter of relative head to steering wheel position, I suppose.

Cheers!

Weird question... I just noticed my center console gear selection (PRNDM) don't illuminate at night. Has anyone else experienced this? Or do they not illuminate? the GOAT mode knob illuminates

In my day we had 3 on the tree…not illuminated either

Be interested to hear your opinion. Guess I’m used to F350 wheel. Gets nice and warm. Noticeable difference from Bronco.

You know it’s the wife that did this to me. Heated seats, steering wheel etc… Didnt used to care, but then you get these creature comforts the first time and it’s over. Now I’m whining my heated steering wheel not warm enough. Hilarious

Tried it out this morning and it's definitely weak. My past few Ford's would nearly burn my hands.

I just saw this picture today here on B6G. So is the PRNDM on this center console illuminated or just visible due to the other interior lighting?

It's reflecting light, I've seen this on mine too.

 

[JimmyG]

Oh! I better try mine!

You probably won't need yours where you live.

 

[Oceannomad]

Yeah, noticed that on another rig I had. On the 2017 Raptor, it lit up. The 2020 Raptor didn’t. It was an odd thing to skimp on.

I read over in the FORscan thread, the wheel heat setting can be adjusted.

You have my attention. Thanks for heads up.

Gotta tell ya, I used the heated steering wheel a couple more times this week and it was much warmer than the first time I tried... Is yours still acting weak?
