Overhead Console Replacement Part
The LED readout on my F350 Lariat is burned out. I have had it out and the LED/computer portion of it needs to be replaced as it is burned out. My local dealer says Ford will only sell the complete console for $500.00 (ouch!!). All I need is the plugin portion. I've checked my local junkyards with no luck. Looking for suggestions or source. Thanks for looking.

Overhead Console
I have seen both of these links , but nothing there fixes my problem. The LED display is burned out, the glass is all discolored and shows signs of overheating. I want the whole plugin.

I had problems getting the resistors resoldered on mine, and wound up replacing them with Radio Shack resistors. Now mine works great.
On edit: If you're willing to pay the postage, I'd be willing to try to fix it for you. I had to buy a pack of 5 resistors when I fixed mine, so I have several spares.

Well, no happy ending to this story. I got your computer in the mail today, the first thing I noticed was hat the screen was broken (missing s piece where the "burn" spot usually is):
https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...&albumid=24739
The second thing I noticed was that the two "usual suspect" 680 resistors behind the screen were completely missing. On the chance that it might work, I soldered replacement resistors in and tried it on my pickup, but no go.
I think that the resistors would have fixed it if the screen wasn't broken. If you want me to ship it back to you Big Sage, let me know.
