Hello
I have a f350 pickup with a v-10 4x4. I was out driving in some pretty rough hills. The next thing I noticed none of the gauges worked. The speedometer, odometer,gas gauge,oil pressure,heat guage,and volt meter. Everything in the cluster stopped. If you would have any advise that would be great.
Thanks
Rick

I HATE CLUSTERS that have really cheapey wire plug ins!!!

I like the old stuff thats wired like your house with screw terminals!

Check all of your fuses 1st--Owners manual may reveal some you never knew existed!

Can you get the cluster out enough, to reach in behind it and WIGGLE the "Blocks" of wiring that sorta "RUBS INTO PLACE" on the crappy printed circuit board on the back of the cluster? (at your own discretion) you might turn the key on and see if they flicker as you dig in to it deeper!

Respond, Thats all I get out of this Hobby!
