I'm an old member. Haven't posted since 2006 before I came back this week.

Bought a 1990 Ford Bronco 5.8L with 80k original miles. From second owner. Bought it for my daughter, she has been lusting after it for months as it sat in the street never being driven. Asked my neighbor how much for the truck he said $1,800. Done. It's completely unmolested and original. Nice truck and it passed smog first try. Woohoo!

Welcome to FTE. I know you will enjoy your stay here. That is cool that you have a classic F100, and even better that you have already become a paid member. LOL Just kidding. Welcome again.

Welcome to FTE Trav, your best bet at getting a response to this question would be the F150 forum, as that is populated by (you guessed it) F150 owners. I believe there is also a forum for electrical issues, but I don't know how popular it is. So it may take awhile for an answer there. Maybe someone with your year truck in our chapter might be able to help if they see this question.

Jim

Here ya go Trav this has been one of the fix's for this issue, also I have a thread over in the ford 1/2 2000 forum on door locks . the reason of the cluster black out is the solder issue on the back of the panel. good luck
