Overhead Temp and Direction Display Flashing

I have a 2000 F-150 5.4 SC 4x4 XLT. It has the overhead temperature and direction display. It has started flashing randomly. I don't know how to describe it, but I have a couple videos. Sometimes it doesn't illuminate at all for a while. What is messed up to cause this and could excessive water splashing cause it. It started after going down my driveway which ha water running deep in both tracks the whole 1/2 mile.

There are two videos but one isn't wanting to embed.

Okay, thanks. I just assumed it was from water, but I guess it would mae more sense that the high speed on the road vibrated it loose.

Its not the odometer problem, it is the overhead display that shows the temp and direction.

Would this ( https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...splay-fix.html ) be the proper procedure for a 2000 F-150 since this was for the 2000-2005 Excursion?
