Cool I Need Help!!!!!

Ok so i got into my 1999 F250 powerstroke today and i heard this really wierd noise coming from under the dash. Some where by the steering coloum i think. I started my truck and it went away but then my speedo didn't work and my overdrive light on the shifter was flashing. I also notice that when my truck was off my dome light wasn't on when i had my door open, but when i started my truck it would come on then go off. I hope it is just a relay or something of that nature. any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yeah....sounds like a relay. Get some alcohol and start pulling and cleaning. Electrical cleaner spray also works wonders. Keep us posted.

Something I like to throw in for situations like this. Check all your grounds. It cost me $80 to have Ford tell me it was the first ground they checked behind the access panel under the steering column.
