Bad Computer 2005 STX
I have a 2005 F150 STX (Government Fleet Vehicle) that I use for work.

While I was driving home yesterday, I noticed the speedometer was stuck. I was slowing down and the speedometer did not go down. At first I thought I really wasn't slowing down, maybe the throttle was stuck (no Tach in this truck) so I braked hard. I realized that the truck was in fact slowing down. Then I noticed all the gauges drop to zero, and the speedometer drop to zero. After about 6 seconds, they all popped back up where they should have been. The airbag light began to flash on the dash, and stayed on. The "wrench" symbol also came on, on the dash. The truck began to stumble and misfire.<O></O>
I drove right to the dealer (about 6 blocks away) and they put it on the computer right away. They were not able to get the factory computer to "talk" to their diagnostic computer. I'm currently waiting for a computer to be shipped in...<O></O>
