Rod.....
Can't thank you enough for the valuable information you provide.
Not only an active board member but an intelligent helpful board member.
Yep it's been a week.
A little bit of insomnia and some employee issues has me scattered abit.
For what it's been worth this whole speedo thing has been facinating.
Apart from my research, calling the 4 dealers here in Portland resulted in about 4 different answers. A great learning experience.
Learning my "first ford" has been a schooling.
Thanks for the link...you have done enough. Gone far above the call of duty.....and I sincerely thank you.
Alright it's late, I'm wide awake, and I'm typing on an iphone in the bathroom.
Thanks again People.
Rod.....what can I say...thanks for the tolerance and guidance.
Stay tuned for the "my cruise control quit working" thread.
Will check fuses first.
Yep

Thanks Rod.
Yeah still not working.
Guessing it's the brake stop sensor being that I just replaced the master cylinder.
Sensors sensors sensors.
Makes me appreciate working on my 83 Volvo turbo'd 242.
No sensors really. Relays yes.
Rod...yer a rockstar. Thanks

The thing is....it's never that easy for me.
It's never just the fuse. My life is a constant state of difficult by no fault of my own.
It's the creators will that I should struggle.
But yeah...next time.....fuse.
(Then sensor)
Actually..fuse, then forum, then sensor.
Get that right?
Thanks again guys

"It's the creators will that I should struggle."-- THIS, I don't believe for a moment. *hit happens, but we're usually the one that turns the fan on. Not the fault of your Creator.

"Is it plugged in?"
Thank you WIKI! 
A basic principle in troubleshooting is to start from the simplest and most probable possible problems first. This is illustrated by the old saying "When you see hoof prints, look for horses, not zebras", or to use another maxim, use the KISS principle. This principle results in the common complaint about help desks or manuals, that they sometimes first ask: "Is it plugged in and does that receptacle have power?", but this should not be taken as an affront, rather it should serve as a reminder or conditioning to always check the simple things first before calling for help.
