Unhappy digital odometer

I have a 99 f150 xlt off road pack and my digital odometer disapears sometimes for a couple seconds or sometimes I have to hit the front of the gauge then it will come on. but its gotn better, it used to be where it stayed of the whole time .

97-98 went mechanical (actually I think they were electronic though), then back to digital display in 99.

Exclamation digital odometer

my 99 F150 does the same thing.. seems to have started after the alternator went out.... Also seems to possibly be tied in with the auto head lights...

So does mine. 2000 XLT 4.6l I can't find any other problems with my truck, but I have noticed this happening lately, perhaps it is because I am now looking for it. Anybody ever figure out what is wrong?

Ive seen this on a few vehicles and it required replacing the cluster to fix it. You can check for loose wiring at the cluster, pinouts in the pigtail connector as well.
