overhead console readout is dead
The over head digital readout thing does not work on our 03 250SD crew/6.0.
Is this easy to replace? Is there something else wrong that might be causing this,like a fuse? Is this display necessary to see warnings? The only thing I would like to use it for would be, is a compass and outside temp.
Thanks,eh? We just aquired our truck a few days ago and are still in the learning mode!

MIne didnt work when i first got the truck, all i did was take the unit out and found one of the little resistors had fallen off, just held it in place with tweezers and reflowed the soder and it works like a dream ever since( of course except for the fact that it say i get like 22MPG when i actually get like 16) but thats just the way it calculates...Easy Fix, it was the first time i had ever soder'd before

Thanks for the input! The only thing not functioning is the over head console readout. Everything else(at least as far as I know) is working. I m in the confusing process of programming a scanguage2. What I mean by that is that I guess I m not in need of this read out for the truck to function safely.

I sent mine off to have it fixed... I think it was about $30 and it was fast. It was a guy in FL. If you want I can go back and find the info. Should come up with doing a search on your favorite search engine. It's fairly common. Mine didn't work when I bought the truck. Works like a champ now.

They use to be at www.newfordtruckparts.com
But that site isn't up anymore. I do remember getting a card in the mail saying they had changed their web site. When I get home I'll see if I still have it on my desk.
You're welcome y'all...

I was looking in the tech folder...thinking there was a link on how to repair the overhead. But I can't seem to find it, guess I could search for it...but that takes all the fun out of it.
