odometer dissappears on start up?
2001
5.4l
crew cab
132400 miles
when i start the truck the odometer does not show! after a few minutes it shows up.
it is still counting the correct miles. Does anyone know if this is something simple? or normal?
I just got the truck.
thanks

Mine has been hit or miss for 6 years. I'm pretty sure it's still counting, but sometimes I wonder. When it works, I have 199, 498 (today for about 1 minute.) Seems to be a problem with the LED display and not the actual odometer.
On mine, just prior to actually working, it displays a scrambled sequence for a minute or so, then it works for a while. It always shows the scrambled display first, IF it's going to work.
It's the next thing on the list to diagnose and repair. I actually don't care if it works or not, but it bugs me enough to fix it.

Ya, my dad's 2000 F150 is starting to have this problem. I beat the dash and it comes back on. Sucks though cause his truck only has 88,000 and you wouldn't think crap like that would be going bad. Test drove an '01 and it had the same issue. Ford POS clusters
