Fixed mine today
this has been an issue since my girlfriend acquired this truck from her father. Been driving me nuts. I was pretty quick at pulling the dash apart but then realized my soldering iron had gone missing.
I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a new one and had the job done in just over an hour.
Hope it lasts and does the trick. Thanks to the original post to walk me through the process!

2001 F150 Odometer intermittent issue
Hello, I know that this is an old post but the information was great. I have a 2001 F150 with the intermittent odometer issue. Took the speedometer out. The only thing is that I did not have to remove the headlight switch. Once I pulled the dash cover I could reach around and unplug it from behind. I took the circuit board to the shop that I use to repair my vintage stereo equipment. He put his magnifying goggles on and agreed that the solders had issues. Took him 30 seconds to redo all 9 solders for no charge. I did try to protect the plastic cover on the steering column when reinstalling but still did scratch it a little. It has been a month now and still working great. Thanks for such a great post.
After the re-solder of the 9 defective ones.
Now working.
