'04 F-250 Overhead console display repair... I fixed it!!!

OK so my little fuel lie-o-meter and temperature/compass dealie went out not too long ago. I haven't worried too much about it as I never really paid it much mind but I got to thinking about it and replacing it thinking I may sell or trade the truck in for a 350 later this summer. So I did a little research and thought I would tackle it myself as a common problem is the chips coming off the main board for the display.

So down comes the console and out comes the board.



Lucky for me I was paying attention as one of the chips fell out and onto the floor.



Here's where it goes



Soldered it back on



and WALA! all done!



Pretty proud of myself on this one...

An atta boy on that one!

Thanks!

Nice work! Not someting I would have relished tackling.

Thanks guys, I figured I didn't have much to lose, it wasn't working before, and worse case scenario, it wouldn't have worked after...

Looks great, FiremanBill! That's a known problem with that console. Malcolm had to repair ours on our 2002 F350. It was doing the exact same thing.....not working.
