how to fix fuel gauge and odometer which only lights up intermittently?

Thank you for such a quick response to my question and for sending me the link to the repair video. I actually found a package of 150 Ohm 1/2 watt resistors at a local radio shack. They only had one package left of in the entire Dallas / Fort Worth area, so I have to get this right the first time. The information on the solder is extremely helpful as well. Hopefully this will fix both issues, but if not thank you for the information regarding the fuel gauge. Wish me luck!

good luck with the cluster.the fuel gauge could be but rare to be faulty.most of the time it is the sender in the fuel tank.there is a test that can be done to test all the gauges if you wanted to try that.also if you don't want to fool with it,there are several people on EBAY that offer a cluster repair service at a fairly good price,BUT you have to remove it and ship it to them!i started to ship mine to them on my F150.but i kept researching the Famous Ford Odometer Blackout problem(could not see my miles,digital)i found a very detailed repair on it step by step.i DID IT, HEY! it was easy,really.then i called the ford dealer (didn't tell em i already fixed it with 5 cents worth of solder)told them my problem.they said OH NO,that's a very common problem on the f150,f250,f350,Expedition,Explorer,Lincoln Navigator,and more.then they said NO FIX for it,gotta bring it in and we have to replace the cluster and then reprogram my keys or my truck won't start! i still didn't tell em i already fixed it !! i then asked them the magic question.HOW MUCH? service manager said $1200.00?? i just hung the phone up.good luck with yours and don't forget to buy you a PB lottery ticket for Wed.
