I understand you did this for your 99', but I'm wanting to know if anyone has does this on a 2005-2011 year F-150. They have different layouts than the older Ford's. Separating the main board from the gauge cluster is TOTALLY different.

 

mine is flickering on my '07. anyone have a fix for this?

 

Tried this repair on my 2000 this morning and was done in about 90 minutes. Very easy fix and it is working great now. Thanks for posting this info.

 

have same problem 2005 need help

 

So I had the same problem on my 2006 f-150, I see no one has figured out the 04-08. Well mine had been completely out for a year. I had bought a new cap and it had a dome light. I wanted to run constant power off the battery with inline fuse. On the battery post there's a clamp and that clamp has it's own post with nut. It was pretty corroded so I cleaned it all up and put continued with my wiring. Well I got it all done fired up the truck and my mileage and temp and compass was back. Now this might be compete coinsidence but it might also be the fix. Try it out eveyone with this problem on the 04-08, only takes 5 minutes and could end the frustration I put up with for over a year. Went out on 62,000 and now i have 87,000.

 

Did my odometer repair today on my 99. Thanks to all who have input their knowledge into this fix. Went really well and am so glad to have my odometer back. Annoying problem gone!!

 

Did this to my truck a few months ago and it worked like a charm! But I do have one question; is it supposed to take a second for the odometer to come on once the truck is started?

 

yep, scared me at first that it took a second or two for it to come on. I am still checking it frequently, just making sure it still works.

 

I have the same problem with mine. But its an '06. Do you think it might be the same problem? i took it to the dealer to get something else fixed and i asked them about it. they told me i had to buy a new instrument cluster. but that is too much $$$!!! Could it be the same fix for mine?

 

Hi, Guys,

2001 Ford F150 Supercab here, and I found this thread through a Google search when we experienced exactly the same intermittent odometer problem. This is an extremely helpful thread.

Does anyone have specific instructions on how to recognize the PATS wiring and avoid messing it up? Is it something that connects to the instrument cluster? A photo of what to look for would be really helpful. I don't have any service manuals so I am flying blind.

I promised my wife I wouldn't cause more damage to the vehicle if I attempted this fix.

 

I've searched this interittent Odometer thread for a newer model years (2006), but the fix seems to be for older F150 trucks. Has anyone attempted it for later model years ('04 and on)?

 

Awesome Greg, thank you. I just hated that there was a problem, even minor, with my '02 Screw. It drove me nuts every time that thing went off. (A bit of OCD was the biggest problem) Now it's fixed. Thank you so very much. Now everything on my truck is in great working order again.

 

Finally got around to doing the odometer fix after 5 years. It worked great except for one thing, the odometer works fine but I can't switch over to the tripmeter. Anyone with a similar experience and a suggestion for a fix?

Thanks again for the tutorial.

 

greg, I soldered the circuit board as instructed, but now odometer has
horizontal lines only and theft light flashes!! truck won't start now...any ideas?

Thanks

 

I have a 2006 F-150 and the circuit board is different. I just took it out to try the fix everyone has said works, but it does not have the plug. My odometer will stay out for months now and every once in a while come back on for a few minutes so I know it must be a loose connection or something. All my pins look great, there are six on this board and it holds on a female connector where six long pins from the LED itself plugs into. Can you say the connector and plugs are not the same length. I see the problem maybe closer to the LED itself with the six pins. But cannot see how to get to it. Going to try and solder all pins and see if I can get to LED where the long pins come through the cluster. Will let you know how it goes.
