I need help with day/night display issue............

What you are describing is not, I repeat not a wrong setting in Sync, as placing the headlight switch in the first position for parking lights should not dim the dash. Def a gremlin. Let us know what it winds up being.

and you are 100% right about a certain member never getting the truck for real.

He has auto-dim enabled.

If you put lights on "Park", "On", or "Auto", the dash and center screen drop light by 50 or 60% instantly.

You have auto dim enabled. Under display on sync, turn it off.

Thanks for the help, nothing worked. I did a sync reset where you push the power and the forward buttons, and it's normal again. I should have tried that first. I was pretty much assuming the tech did something to screw it up, but it looks like it was just an odd Sync glitch after having the repairs done.

Yea. I’m leaning towards that direction too.

Here is what I tried for you. I had the truck outside and it's nice and sunny the headlight switch is in auto and I drove it into the garage and the headlights went on and the screen went to dim mode. I backed out of the garage and set the switch to on and went back in and same thing, screen went to dim. I went into the screen and tried to re-configure the settings and could not make any changes

I brought the truck back outside in the sun and put my bandana over the sensor on the dash and the screen and gauges dimmed in the auto and on setting and also while in park and in drive. I could not get it to change in the settings, but my Raptor is an 18 if that makes a difference. Sounds like a glitch, Did you pull the battery terminal for a minute or two?

Just yesterday my sync screen went into night mode during the day. It has happened once or twice before. I have to turn off the truck, open the door and wait a while and then restarting the truck everything is fine. I think it is a "glitch".

I saw something slightly like this with the 3.4 update I think, along with a few other wacky glitches, like the physical "MEDIA" button no longer switching to next source once it got to FM. I did the "master reset" from settings/general (I think that's where it is).

could it be that your auto lamp sensor may be faulty?

i have been modifying the smoked lens on mine ever since i added tint all around (including the windshield at 80%) and the auto lamp thinks its darker than usual.

It very well could be. You can see the same behavior going into dark shade early morning or late afternoon, or going under a bridge in bright sunlight. The default auto dim is very brief, only a few seconds at best- I want to say 3 seconds but I think it reacts faster than that. You can make this interval longer by use of FORSCAN ( it took me 3 drafts, and a lot of thought to make that last sentence @Oldfart proof ).

Yeah, he's probably good for 3 seconds at best.
