Had 2 weird electrical issues happen
05 F250 CC SRW V10. Yesterday, I had the truck parked in a driveway for several hours. A few of the windows down. Jumped in and turned the key on to roll the windows up and they would not work from the driver's door. Open/closed the door, cycled the key, played with the switches including the lock-out started the truck, etc. Nothing. My buddy opened the pass rear door and hit the switch and that window rolled up and then everything worked fine. Hasn't done it since.... Seems too random to be something others may have seen, but I thought I'd ask.
Second thing happened today. Stopped to fuel up. Had about 230 miles on the trip odometer. Jumped in the truck and fired it up. All the gauge needles (speedo, tach, temps, etc) went as far counter-clockwise as they can and they just kind of vibrated like they were calibrating. This lasted about 5 seconds and then they all went to normal. I then noticed that all the trip data had been cleared. My trip odometer, avg mpg, mile to empty, etc were all cleared. I have seen the gauges do this on my 04 150 when I was playing with one of my tuners.
Anyone seen anything like either of these things??
Thanks

i LOOKED THE tsb up and I found it doesn't really apply to you specific, but stranger things have happened it can't hurt to look. Also check your ground wire! Good luck

Biggziff ,did you get a ton of rain in the last 24hrs?
or did you drive through alot rain?
If so ,start chking around the fuse panels under the dash and under the hood for evidence of water intrusion into the areas.
Look at the terminals for corrosion and get some dilectric grease and start putting a little on the contacts.
Also chk the main harness plug that goes through the firewall for being loose or corrosion also.
These are a common area for this wierd gremlins.
Disconnect battery before messing with the main harness plug though.

It rained while I was in Virginia, but the truck was sitting in a driveway under heavy tree canopy. I plan to do just as you said....check everything very carefully and use some dielectric grease on all the connectors, etc.
Thanks much!
Thanks much!
