intrument panel is dead
I have a 97 F-150 4.6L V8.
The other day I noticed that the instrument panel is dead, the odometer is not even working. I changed the relay for the instrument panel in the fuse box inside the truck but that made no difference. What else could be causing this?
Thanks

So i took this thing apart yesterday and was looking everywhere for this chafed wire but I could not locate it.
I'm wondering if I pulled off the correct parts because I couldn't see any "shift lever tube". I pulled off the bottom panel that covers the fuse box and top cover over the steering column.
Are the column shrouds the actual black covers that cover the steering column? The ones where the key goes?
oh by the way, during this adventure I went ahead an pulled the instrument cluster and replaced the bulbs.
