Trip computer quit working

Hello ... I am new here and need some advice.
I have a 2003 f350 diesel...and my over-head fuel/mileage/compass etc computer has stopped working....I can't find anything in my manual about fuses for it or bulbs.....can't even figure out how to get into it
ANY ideas for a fix would be much appreciated...
Thanks
Lynne

If you have any skills in small electronics repair, you can use this link to help you fix it yourself. http://www.forgotton.net/diesel/trip...ndexframe.html

If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, you'll need to purchase a new one from Ford.

VERY CAREFULLY! Somebody will come along shortly with the correct answer. I have seen several posts where guys tried on their own to open up the cover and wound up cracking the plastic. I recommend you be patient until someone comes along for you...or go to the toolbar for the forum and do a search.

The cover is held in by plastic tabs. I removed mine by very carefully grabbing both sides and pulling down to snap them out. If you rock the cover side to side or back and forth, you can possibly break one or more of the tabs. It's in there pretty snug.
