Upper Console Message Center
 

Tryin to figure out why my upper console message center would have quit working. Owners manual does not have a specific fuse location for this feature. F-250 2002 7.3. Quirky little problem but I try to eliminate items on laundry list whenever I get bored! It's nice to know which direction I am going, ya know! Thanks for any suggestions!

that display is on fuse No. 19. but if that fuse was blown you would have no throttle response. those screens will randomly go out.

Here is what i used to fix mine tried to seach for it on this site no luck

Thanks. I checked the 19th hole and it looks fine, also says in the book that fuse is for "Body Security Module/4x4 module". Not sure that this the same fuse you had mentioned above. Screens are definitely OUT!:humm:

Powerstrokin02 check that post, those overhead computers have a problem with the resistors after awhile will come lose and to fix them all u will have to do is resolder them back in to place and wham bam thank you mama it works again but if there is a different problem search on ebay for ford overhead computer there is a company that will fix for around 30 bucks good luck

that's all? i'll check into in for my buddies pickup.

Be careful when u take the cover and holder off because if a resistor did come lose then it will be sitting in the black holder and the r really small and hard to find if they fall. I got luck because i have tan carpet,but if u or ur buddy has dark carpet good luck is all i can say.

Loc24, thanks for the reply! Not sure exactly what you mean by "check that post" or where the resistors are exactly. I guess I will try to research more about ford overhead computers.:igive:

Sorry about the ill communications i meant the link i posted before. It is pretty easy fix i did mine and a buddies in about fifteen, twenty mins for both it took me longer to remove both of them then to fix them. :rocking:

LOC24,
I have been clickin and sniffin but can't seem to find the link you sent. I must be dislexic! Can you make the link more direct? Copy the URL or something? I am all about trying to fix it myself, just need some help locating the solution. Thanks for your help!:c:
