    2004-05 Instrument cluster

    I have a spare with 135,000-ish miles that needs to be repaired (RT Grim near Harrisburg, PA has a flat $170 fee) based on one or more faulty soldiers or connections. A lot of 04-05 clusters are failing now. Most that you find from salvage yards likely will be faulty, or close to it, based on...

    HVAC controls

    Not sure on LEDs. If using regular bulbs, it takes 161 B wedge bulbs. They're available at Advanced for $5 for two. They're held in plastic screws/plugs. Use a rubber grip pad and pliers to remove the bulb. Ge gentle. You may as well replace both. If one goes, the other, based on age, can't be...

    Trading in the ST -- selective part out?

    The mat would cost about $75 to ship via Greyhound. I'm not sure on the mats but will check. It's a shame you aren't closer!

    Kenwood DNX5120, Dash Bezel with Mount, Fog Light Switch and Harness

    Unfortunately not. The ST will be no more, and whatever replaces it will have navigation and upgraded audio (fine for a non-audiophile like me).

    Trading in the ST -- selective part out?

    I'm trading in the ST on a new vehicle. Early when I bought it, I picked up a few items from fellow ST owners who previously sold theirs -- such as all-weather mats from a gentleman who lived nearby. Given that the Gen 1 ST has been out of production for a decade, if there is something on my...

    Kenwood DNX5120, Dash Bezel with Mount, Fog Light Switch and Harness

    I'm replacing the ST. I pulled my Kenwood navigation unit from it today. Included is everything needed to make this work nearly plug-and-play with your 04 or 05 with factory subwoofer, down to the step down from 12V to 5V to prevent the sub pop when powering it up. If you have any other year...

    instrument cluster

    Just following up on this topic. I removed the cluster and checked the joints. All are fine. The issue is somewhere within the grey harness plug on the circuit board. If I apply some pressure or lightly wiggle it when installed, the gauges come back. Eventually, though, they fail. You...

    Unbelievable gift!

    Perfect color for your ST! I'm running a Warn XT30 with wireless controls. [Broken External Image]:

    instrument cluster

    My 2004 recently started doing this. Usually on start-up the odometer shows dashes and cluster shows the check engine light. In addition, the engine temp gauge, speedometer and tachometer do not work. When it works, everything returns to normal. If I hit a bump, the speedometer and...

    Digital Odometer light comes on and off . . .

    I have a similar problem. The speedometer, tachometer, and odometer occasionally go out (the odometer shows dashes and the needles freeze on the others). I assume it's a bad solder or two on the rear of the board because with a hit to the dash or bump in the road, they occasionally come back...

    Lowest Mileage '08?

    Borrowed my father's '08 Adrenalin. It rolled off the lot in June 2008 as a retirement gift from my mother, my brother, and me (when we would ask him what he wanted, he always joked with, "a little red truck", but the 50s-era F-100s were too spartan). It's his Sunday driver. I know, I know...

    National Debt just keeps on growing...

    The argument that "At least Barry isn't as bad as George" is akin to allowing your younger son to get C-'s in school because your older son got D+'s.

    2008-10 ST On with Ignition Fuse in Internal Panel

    Thank you. I'm probably going to tap the 12v for the rear power point on the console. It's never used, and the mirror monitor has a 12v plug as an option. The AV and power cable to the mirror, which is a single wire (that is, multiple wires inside a single casing with a pin push/pull...

    2008-10 ST On with Ignition Fuse in Internal Panel

    Which is a good fuse -- on with ignition only -- in the internal box to use a fuse tap? I'm halfway through wiring a wireless trailer camera (the trailer half is done). I need to wire the LCD mirror in the cab, but am leery of tapping the power wires to the overhead console because the screen...

    HOw Screwed am I ? - Rust

    That's nothing -- really. Largely surface. Mine's been through 10 NE winters and looks worse -- and is fine. Given that you're now in a hot, dry climate, you have even less to worry about.

    Explorer Express and Suspension and MyST and ....

    The category of this post is "Suspension." I promise it's sort of on topic. I don't post much anymore -- as many can personally attest, life gets in the way -- but I still lurk. Many faces here have changed, although many remain the same. In a way, we're followers of a dying hobby...

    As a former science teacher...

    Figured. My father is your age and went to Catholic grade and high schools. Probably had the same experience (well, for longer), plus the added knuckle slapping by nuns. :)

    As a former science teacher...

    Went to Catholic grade and high school. Had science starting in 1st grade. And "religion" was one of the 7 or 8 subjects we were taught with it. Sounds like your school was a bit regressive. What decade was this?

    Stuck in sand...any tools to help?

    Eddie, I read somewhere that the sand ladders are directly taken from the military pad design--so I think you're dead on!

    Stuck in sand...any tools to help?

    The Rampage Ramps are SMALL. I carry a set in my Rzr just in case, but I question their effectiveness. I'd go with Maxtrax (they now have a US supplier, so shipping is much more reasonable) or aluminum sand ladders (link below). I bought the latter in 48x12 for when I used to get permits...
