Odometer on 99'

my odometer has been flickering on and off for about 3 or 4 years now. I havent noticed any pattern to it and it always comes back on at some point, somtimes if i hit the dash it will pop on. My question is if anybody else has had this problem and i wonder what i have to do to fix it. Is the bulb replaceable. Obviously its not bad or it woulda burned out right? i dont know what to do really with it, other that keep driving it. Just gets a bit anoying when im trying to right down my miles and trip at the pump and its not lit so i can see it, and i dont know where to reset it for sure, its kinda guessing game to reset it lol. any help would be great

do a search for odometer problems, it is a very common problem. what happens is the connections on the board arent' making a good connection anymore, usually you can re solder them and that solves the problem, some where on here there is a how to on how to fix it. good luck

it is still cheaper to buy a soldering gun than it is to buy a new instrument cluster.

be careful and don't use a high watt pen. 25 should be enough. it is easy to do just
don't get out the big gun

my 2000 f150 has started doing it. One time, it sayed 102,113 miles on it and then it turned off when I was driving, then it turned back on around 10 miles later and it sayed around 102,123 miles, so it is still turning over when it doesn't light up.
