just put some dielectric grease on the connector its obviously just a connection problem. Ford recommends it on every electrical connector in the Truck especially if you live somewhere with high humidity. It's especially important on the ficm connections because they tend to attract humidity because of the heat cycles.

That is not the case at all. It is several things. One is the blue connector pins on the board break the surrounding solder and cause a bad connection. The big one is on the cluster itself. Being the 8 pin battery saver marked 1002. This also either loses solder connection or most of the time goes bad. These companies take the time and carefully go through the entire board resoldering connections and updating and upgrading the battery saver and several other known problems. Dielectric grease ain't fixing it at all

@@kylebachman4477 The pins aren't the best material like gold plating and they suffer from corrosion which causes high resistance which causes excess heat which causes all the issues you just described.

I had the same problem with my 03. I try to get a hold of the guys you used to work on my but they would never call me back. So I sent it to a company in Florida. I got it back and still nothing worked. I contacted them and sent it back. They email me a video of it working good on their test. I installed it today and still not working. They said I have other problems with my wiring. I checked the shift arm for bad spots in the wiring and even took it apart to check the wires inside and seen none. About ready to pull my hair out trying to find the problem.

I hope you have it figured out by now Alvin. There were a few other causes I saw in searching for an answer to my problem. One was something about the dome light, can't remember exactly what but I think there are some other videos on that. The other was a voltage problem. I checked mine old school with a multimeter at the battery terminals, but I remember watching another video on how problems with the voltage regulator can knock out your instrument cluster. Hope it helps man, no bigger stress than a messed up truck!

@@life-ingwithkenandphyllis9014 I did finally found the problem for one gage. It was a wiring problem behind the cluster. I still don't have a RPM gage not working. I heard the 2003 7.3 gets it's signal from the cam sensor. The cam sensor works because my truck starts unless it some part of the cam sensor it gets it's sensor from. I use this truck mostly as a ranch truck so it really doesn't matter if it works or not. Thanks for the reply back.

If you start it and it doesn’t come on at all and you try to drive it the truck goes straight to 4th gear and won’t shift out of 4th until it comes back on

Did your truck loose engine power when that happened, my truck gas started doing that and today while pulling a trailer the truck had no engine power and the cluster was not working

My overdrive button knob is busted and the lever is hard to shift, my dome light is in pieces from previous light problems and my trailer brake attachment is dangling by my feet and the LEDs in my radio went out a couple years ago. And now this summer my entire instrument cluster went out. Literally every idea the blogs say could cause this except maybe the overvoltage one I basically have already. Shaking my head.
