odometer on and off

The odometer on my '99 F-150 Off-Road goes on and off without any pattern. If the truck sits for a while, it does seem to always come on when the truck is started. Then it may stay on for a while, then go out for a while, then come back on. Almost acts like a loose connection. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it. Thanks.

I have the same issue with my 99 F150 5.4L 4x4. Curious to see how to fix.

This may not help, but my father had the same problem with a Toyota and the problem turned out to be in the cruise control. Hope this helps.

I had the same thing going on with my '99 f150 xlt for about 2 years or so. It was a simple fix, though. I went out and traded it in for an '04 F150 FX4. That seemed to do the trick.
