Problem overview

Some Ford F-150 Heritage owners report experiencing issues with their dashboard lights not functioning, which could be due to accidentally turning off the lights by bumping the dashboard switch. Others have found that checking the fuse boxes, bulbs, dash light switches, wires, cables, filaments, and grounding state is crucial for diagnosing the problem. A broken or flickering dash light may also be the primary cause, and some owners have had success resetting the dash light to resolve the issue. Common problems reported include a blank LCD odometer screen, random or blinking dashboard lights, incorrect gauge readings, brake lights staying on, and sudden dimming of instrument cluster lights. To reset the instrument cluster, some owners recommend pressing and holding the SEL or RESET knob until the lights come on. If only the dash gauges are affected, it may be necessary to remove the cluster for inspection, provided no fuses are blown.
