A/C cluster died

Ran my truck around town this morning. A/C on - everthing fine. Come out of a store I had been in for about 30 minutes and the A/C doesn't come on (I have the auto A/C in a Lariat). Cluster is black, but the radio and speedo clusters are fine. Stop and restart truck. No help. Drive 5 miles home. Truck sits an hour and I come back out and start it up and everything is fine.

I thought I had seen a post on this some other time, but searched and can't find it. Any thoughts on what happened?

It happened to me twice. The service manager talked to the Ford Engineres,they said they knew it was a problem & to go ahead & replace the control head. Luckily my dealer had one in stock.It is nice to have a dealer that cares & will take the time to help.

Have an 03" 350 where the a/c stopped working completely. Anyone had this problem and what you had to do to fix it ?

It has happened to me a few times also. I turned the light switch on and everything works again.

Hey guys, unfortunately my truck is out of warranty. Need to know if any one knows the exact fix for the problem so I'm not just spending money.

This just happened to me. I had the truck in for regular maintance and four days later, it went off. I was going out of town so I had to deal with it til I got back. Took the truck in this past tuesday and they had to have it til thursday, but it's all fixed now. They did just replace the unit as mine was still under warranty.
