ANother satisfied customer!!!!!!!!! THANKS dakota_viking!!!

To others attempting this procedure, at some point you will need to put the gear shift to the far right in order to get the cluster out.

It took 30 minutes to figure out how to get everything out. Then 1 minute to solder the cold joints, then 5 minutes to get everything back in.

Seems to be a rash of people asking about this fix at some 'other' sites so I though I would bring this back to the top!

I'm going to have to get around this one day soon. Especially since I plan on selling my 1999 Ford Expedition around spring.

Great info BTW.

Great Post - Thanks

Thanks for the great solution to my intermittent odometer display. In about an hour and a half, I fixed it and it didn't cost a cent. The only trouble was finding the tab to press in order to remove the headlight assembly in order to get to that last screw.

Just go to wal-mart or k-mart and get a cheapy soldering iron and that will work awesome. It will be small enough.
