2002 Ford F250 dash lights incorrect?
I'm thinking of buying this F250 from a dealer, but he said the instrument cluster needs to be replaced. A couple of the dash lights are on (doors open, check engine, check gauge, etc.), and he said that's why it needs to be replaced. The cab lights are also unreliable, sometimes they turn on when I open the door, sometimes they stay on after I've been out of the truck for 20 minutes. So, I'm wondering if replacing the instrument cluster would fix this, or if it could be a bigger issue?
Also, if it's just the instrument cluster that needs replacing, where can I find one I can install myself? The truck is a 2002 F250 diesel with a 7.3L Powerstroke engine.
You don't want to buy anything with a Check Engine Light on… Regardless of the reason they give you. In most states you will not be able to get the vehicle inspected as long as that light is on and there's no guarantee that if you buy the cluster that there aren't any other problems that are causing it.
- IF it is just the cluster, tell them to replace it and then you will make an offer. - and no a new inst cluster will probably not fix the cab light problem, it sounds like that truck has some major electrical issues. (like possible water intrusion)
If a car dealer can't fix a vehicle they wish to sell I'd never buy it from them! You're going to get ripped off by a Slick Willy salesman!
- Ford Ranger Dash Lights? I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0 v6 and need to replace the dash lights. I was thinking about switching out the regular bulbs with LEDs but don't know which kind I should get. What are the sizes for the main 6 bulbs and the little ones and what kind of LEDs and/or regular bulbs should I get?
- 99 Ford ranger XLT base model. Park lights, dash lights, and license plates lights out I checked online and realized it was probably a fuse which it is. Fuse 11 in my power distribution box. The problem is I keep replacing at and soon as I turn on my lights it blows instantly. Have replaced it multiple times. So then I looked under my truck and disconnected the wiring to my taillights and replaced the fuse, it worked it didn't blow. Dash lights and license plates lights were on so I figured some where there's a problem with the brake lights. Any suggestions?
- 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 4x44x4 lights popup on dash right before I start it. Turn selector knob and absolutely nothing happens? 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 4x4 4x4 lights popup on dash right before I start it. Turn selector knob and absolutely nothing happens? When I turn the 4x4 selector knob nothing happens I'm pointing out that the light comes on before it starts because its not the actual 4x4 module thats the issue like everyone assumes from he start.
- 1983 FORD RANGER DASH LIGHTS? I have a 1983 ford ranger, I come on here when I can't find something out about it, The dash lights do not come on and I don't know why everything else works except the dash lights, I don't understand, I haven't checked any fuses yet I will do that tomorrow, but I don't think that is the case since it is wired to the headlights which work perfectly fine, thanks!
