speedo broke

I also have a problem with my speedo. It no longer reads how fast I'm going. And the electronic mileage doesn't show. also my cruise control doesn't work along with my dome light. I checked the fuses with a check light. The one that controls the speedo doesn't show power even with a good fuse in it. Anyone have any ideas on the problem? 95f150 300I6

I had similar symptoms when the alternator on my '92F150 4.9 M50D was going bad. The speedo quit and the odometer went blank. A few days later the truck quit. A new alternator fixed it all.

Hey, Mine did the same thing, Check your fuse, I'll bet 10 cents that you blew a fuse. I freaked when it happened to me. It happened right when I got it!(1995 F-150 4X4) Tell me if it is the prob! It sounds so simple but it holds the exact same symptoms as mine! As for the alternator, I don't know what he is talking. If it was that you'd know it at night w/ dim headlights!
