[QUOTE="A K, post: 1023252, member: 59480"] 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 tachometer freeze in place and the odometer stops recording mileage. The gas gauge and battery gauge work. Although the check engine light shows, the computer does not record or throw a code. I suspect the solder joints on the rear circuit board for the cluster are failing. It's a common problem for F-150s of the same era. It's fixed by removing the cluster, checking the joints, and resoldering. It's on next weekend's project list. If that doesn't fix it, the solution is a new cluster (and programming to match your mileage). I'll probably just replace the ST. It's 11 years old. :sad: [/QUOTE]
