Hi Y'all,
The odometer light went out on my 99Ford Expedition. Have the whole dashboard part. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not an actual lightbulb? What are we looking for ? We need to see what mileage is on the exp.

As I search for youtube videos - Exp & f150 similar? Are what come up


Thanks in advance,
MorrisClan

 

Not sure if it is on the 99, but some of the switches have a little notch underneath that you slide a screw driver into, then the **** comes off, and you install it 180 degrees off of the starting position and it lets you unscrew the switch.

 

Hi Alwaysfords41,
Thanks we got it. There was a clip we had to undo by the light switch to get that part out to get to the screw to take the rest of it out.
Another question: We need to see how many miles is on my expedition. but it won't light up? Doesn't seem to be a light unless we are looking in the wrong place but it seems to be computerized?
TIA

I could be wrong, but I think it's a bad solder joint or something which causes this.

 

Search for the thread on here titled 'odometer blackout problem fixed'. It is indeed a cold solder joint, easily fixed.

 

Hi Brandynr,
I believe you are correct. It was so late by the time we figured that out we just somewhat put it back together in case I needed to go somewhere. .....it light up like a christmas tree.
Thank You,
MorrisClan

 

Hi Alwaysfords41,
Will def do that & thanks so much.
