I used Automotive Circuit Solutions in March of 2024 to fix my 2004 F150 instrument cluster. They did a marvelous job! A great value - worth every penny of the incredibly reasonable price. I highly recommend their services!
My first symptom was a brake light that never went out - was that way when I bought the truck, and local mechanics claimed this is a known issue with Fords that cannot be fixed. Then, my odometer started blinking out intermittently - the LCD display, not the backlight. Then I started to get phantom power lock operations (I would hear the power locks periodically locking with no action by me even though they were already locked). I found this video and read some comments - all these symptoms were linked to the instrument cluster! This video was also the best I found at showing how to properly remove the shift indicator cable. My instrument cluster works perfectly now.
Thank you. I have watched 5 other videos that skipped the shift indicator step so i didn't knwo what to do next.
Great video young man! The job was perfect.
Thx man for making this video. All I did was disconnect the 2 cables and spray em out with electrical cleaner. Figured I'll plug em back in and turn the key to see if that would be enough. Got lucky I guess.
Thank you for showing me you can remove the part that shows what gear your in from the odometer, i never knew that came out and i had this sucker out quite a few times and apart...lol! I was able to get my new cluster in and programmed with forscan.
Very informative. Looks easy.
Thank you for demo!
Great job thank you very much sir!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks bro.
Hey are you located in dallas?? I need help wit this fix
Did you have communication with the instrument cluster?👍👍
Excellent
Thank you
Just finished installing in a 2006 F150 Lariat. Works perfect. Installation was exactly as described in the video. If your looking to keep your aging F150 I highly recommend.
How doors odometer work after installation does it keep ur old reading or the pads new readingm
Totally worked for me 10 minutes. A mechanic that looked at it said it needed all new calipers and that is why the light was on.
How did you Repair the odometer?
You replace the cluster
About to send y'all one like this in a few lol 🔥
Hello I watched a few of your videos. I have question? If you instead decide to go buy new cluster or buy used from junk yard. Does it need to be recalibrated if you do not use same cluster. I have a 2003 Ford Focus. Thank you
Did you ever find out?
cluster kicks on and off,when it does work the gad gage and speedometer don't work .will replacing cluster some this??
@Automotive Circuit Solutions- would faulty cluster cause no radio or power windows along with no gauge cluster function??
Yes if the gauge cluster fails the radio and power windows loose power as well.
I have a 2007 F150. I had the same issue. In the process at @1:07 I cracked the top of the dash above the driving wheel trying to get it off. It's 15yrs old and brittle. For those who need it, here the part number for the cowling/dash above the steering wheel 2004-2008 FORD F-150 DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TRIM BEZEL GRAY 4L34-15044D70. It's not broken till I fix it!
Question i need replacement I see one to sell in eBay same miles you think work in my 150
As long as the part # is the same then it should work for you.
Could a bad cluster prevent it from even starting a couple mechanic s told me I need a new one and it has to be programed cranks but no start?
No way find new mechanic
Tengo el mismo problema amigo
I bought a similar odometer from a Junk Yard to replace the old single Speedometer... Soon as I got it and replaced it, it was fine till I noticed the Rear dome light dimmed on and sometimes the inside Would flicker on and off. After unplugging and plugging and a Wiggle, the odometer went out. Faulty Odometer? Loose Connections? Programming?
Definitely faulty cluster. We have serviced thousands of these and they all will eventually fail.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions my dome lights and cargo light sometimes like to stay on while driving, after shutting truck off for some time, ect. Is that an issue with my cluster? No other instrument issues (brake light, odom, door ajar, all work as should). Thx
I have a 2006 F150 XLT. Here are my problems:
Brake Light comes on and stays on
Odometer went blank but backlight is on.
Cluster of warning lights comes on/off. When they come on, my RPM, MPH, and Temp gauge all drop down until the lights go off and then they go back to where they were.
Sometimes radio will not shut off when truck is off and doors open.
Not sure if this one is controlled by the gauge cluster, but sometimes my door locks engage while driving even after the initial time.
Can you guys fix these problems?
Yes we can fix all these issues. Those are all typical issues we see in these cluster. Here is a link to the service www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/2004-2008-ford-f-150-instrument-cluster-speedometer-mail-in-repair-service
Hello, could you solve the problem? and how did you fix it i have the same problem
@lilmixhx6417 Automotive Circuit Solutions can fix your problem. They did mine. You just take out your gauge cluster and send it in. They repair it and send back.
Im from mexico 😢
hey guys! What's the turn around time once you receive the cluster?
We repair and send back within 24 hours of receiving it.
Excuse me what size of the little light bulbs it's for the odometer light
@@juanavila7922 Its a T5 2 watt incandescent bulb.
Great vid, I have the exact same problem...mind sharing the fix? Bad sauder points? Contact lubricant? Any help would save me $$ and be greatly appreciated.
Sorry we are in the business of repairing gauge clusters. We don't give out repair info. Sending us your gauge cluster will save you lots of $$ compared to dealer costs. www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/2004-2008-ford-f-150-instrument-cluster-speedometer-mail-in-repair-service
Look up Cold solder joints
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions what do you charge?
@@dwhitehouse9829
We charge $120 Here is a link to our service. www.automotivecircuitsolutions.com/products/2004-2008-ford-f-150-instrument-cluster-speedometer-mail-in-repair-service
I have the same exact problem as well. I have not seen an actual TH-cam fix for this particular issue, have you seen or heard anything? I have heard that the solder joints for the Odemtor ribbon connecting to the circuit board can fail. Add solder to all joints.
I have a 2004 f150 for some reason i dont have the ding ding sound when key is on the ignition neither when the door is open. Also no power to the dash, no blinkers and no stereo. Truck wont crank neither turn on i already replace the battery and check all the fuse. Could it be a bad key? Thanks in advance..
Not sure about the key but it could possibly be the ignition switch.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions thank going to replace that and see if its work. Alse the alarm light blink normal like every 2 second. It doesnt constantly blink.
@@johnnytapia75 before replacing parts you really need to get it properly diagnosed to see what needs to be replaced. The ignition switch is just a possibility. It can be a number of other thing. Good luck
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions Yes, i dont know what else it could be. A few weeks i try to start it all the light were working but the batery was almost dead. Today i get the battery tested and recharged put it back on and nothing. It should make a ding ding sound when putting the key in but nothing.
I unplug my cluster on 2006 F150 now I got no lights and the national signal light and lemonade her don't work though the light signal lights do
I think your phone did a lot of auto correcting so i'm not sure what you're saying.
@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions lmao
okay , how did you actually fix the problem? I seen how you removed the cluster ....but how did you actually address the issue and the fix? you did not show that?? did you order new parts and if so what parts??? what did you actually replace?
Here is a repair video that we have done, if you don't have the training or resources to try it you can always send it to us for a fast and reliable repair.

@@AutomotiveCircuitSolutions 4:11 4:11
Thank you for the video, but may I make a suggestion? It may not be entirely necessary, but shouldn't you remove power from the dash before taking the cluster apart?
I haven't done this job (yet), but if there's one thing I've learned over the years is that it's generally always better to remove a battery cable before working on the electrical systems of today's electronic-controlled cars. Sometimes all it takes is one short and you can say bye-bye to some of the electronic components, possibly even the PCM.
Just my 2-cents.
Plus u can set off the air bag😅
Lol how did you repair it??
This is not an FX4..
Maybe not, but the cluster shown is identical to the one in my 2004 F150 FX4. They fixed mine and it works great!
