Overhead console.

Guys ive got the overhead console that tells the temperature and direction, just noticed it went out today on my way home from work. (i think i remember looking at it this morning and it was working) im sure i can fix the problem by probing around a bit, thats not a problem. however im wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what did you do to fix it to maybe save some time. was it just a bad bulb? or what?

thanks for any info dudes!

 

could it possibly be a fuse?

 

id check the fuses, and bulbs first

 

i pulled out my manual and it told me the fuse for the overhead console is the same for the hazards. hazards work.

 

Patman over on f150online had a similar issue. He had to resolder a wire.

 

hahaha any idea where this wire is located and what color? i just pulled my ****ing dash apart to fix my odometer, it wasnt working properply. had to solder a connection on the back of the circuit board. fixed the problem.

 

I have a write up on F150Forum for this.. Im going to copy and paste it over here for you and future refference

 

thanks man!

 

i just looked it up over there. seems like an easy fix just like the odometer and im good at soldering. Thanks man! will post up if this fixes my problem.
