No, I traded the truck off before getting into it. I believe it to have been a broken and shorted overdrive wire in the column. check all wiring in the column as well as the clock spring and air bag module. The five amp fuse (red fuse) in the fuse box under the column is where mine kept blowing the fuse.
I just had same problem on a 98 town car.Checked the fuse box and #4 on my fusebox was burned.It was a 7.5 volt blade fuse and #4 spot was called instrument cluster..Mite be different on ur truck..Hope it works..
@@oldpath7357 Working on a friend's truck that he has to have back by Saturday as it's his mode of transportation.... I'll need to go elsewhere to find a solution.... can't wait..............
@@kdeh21803 Thats fine. appreciate you stopping by. What I'll be trying next is cleaning if not replacing the idle air control valve,02 sensor and maybe the MAF sensor. For the cruise control and speedo i'm gonna change the clock spring and check the overdrive wire from the gear shift and all wires down the column. I did find it is blowing a fuse and thats where I'm basing doing all thats listed.
Not yet...still working on it slowly. LOL I got a list of stuff to get to put on it. Thanks for stopping by. I'll soon make a video of whats goin on with it.
Found the problem....it's a burnt up thermal fuse in the airbag module.... once module is unplugged fuse stops blowing..... Gotta order a thermal fuse off Amazon.
@@oldpath7357 dont just order the fuse, you gotta find the short circuit in the wiring harness first, fix it, then order the fuse and the variable resistor or replace the module with a non blown junkyard one. if you just replace it and plug it back in you will likely just blow the fuse and resistor again because the smoked fuse is the symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. It can also be caused when the bottom of the crash detector, of which you have two of on the front on the left and the right marked L and R, is rusted. If you dont mind not having the airbag, just leave the module out and change the 18 fuse again
I replaced the speed sensor in the transmission.....it didnt help. I have more symptoms now. Very low idle and the idle surges from a low idle to almost going dead.
@@oldpath7357 have you taken apart the instrument cluster? might be short or bad solder joint. I changed my airbag module to no avial, still 18 fuse blows
nevermind, It actually was the airbag module. removed it and speedo and odo are back with no blown fuse. still tracking down high revs until i hit second gear hard, im thinking the throttle position sensor
Hi mate, do you find the solution? I have the exact same things happening to my 1995 ford e150

Hello my F150 speedometer and odometer are not working either. Did you happen to solve this situation?
I had a blown fuse

I have the same problem going on with a 1994 F150 (4.9) Manual Transmission.... did you ever figure out what is going on?
Could it be the "clock spring" It's in the #18 slot.................. 10 AMP
I got a list of stuff to get and to try...I'm conna do a video to show what I got and what if any of it worked. Thanks for stopping by.

Did you solve it?
air bag control module under the dash behind the ac controls thats your problem
Check the speed sensor on the rear axil.
Did you ever fix it

where is the fuse?

Gheeesh 🤔 🙏
i have same problem
I got the same problem
Check your speed sensor

I have a short circuit in the steering column. prolly clock spring or OD wires in the shifter...
