99 F-250 Light Duty

[LindellProStaf]

I have a 99 F 250 and the odometer does not always display. Sometimes it comes on right away then goes off for 10 or 20 miles and comes back on. Sometimes it won't come on for a half hour or so of driving. It keeps accurate miles but is a hassle when trying to keep track of miles for work trips. It is LED lights type. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

My 2000 F-150 does the same thing. Kind of common in those years. Just bang on the dash a little if you need to see the miles. Im not sure of the cost, but Im sure its not cheap. Just live with it.

You will need to send your Instrument cluster in for repair, usually $150-250. Then if you have Pats security system, the keys will need to be reprogrammed in order to start.

Ya I guess I can deal with it then. I do have that kind of keys too.... :-) Thanks

And like said, if you actually need the milage to work, slap the top of the dash, it will usually come on then. Just dont do it everytime, or you will create rattles, or other issues.

hey i guess the good news is you are getting better gas milage!

I just went to town and was hoping my ODO wouldn't work so I could smack my dash and see if it worked. It worked the whole way in. It must know........

When my 2000 f150 hits a rough road, mine blinks on and off so fast I just about have a seizure.
