    Does it reset the computer in my 2017 Ford Everest to factory settings if I disconnect the battery for ten minutes?

    That might do the trick, but there's actually an easier way to return the Everest's computer to the factory standard settings. It goes like this:

    Start the vehicle and make sure it is in Park with the engine running. Then press 'Settings' on the SYNC screen. Then choose 'General' and scroll down to select 'Master Reset'. At this point, you should get a message on the screen that the reset will erase all previous settings and factory defaults will be restored. By pressing 'Continue' you're agreeing to this and you should then see the screen go blank for anything up to a few minutes while it reboots.
