Ford F150 2001 Overhead Console Repair

Has your overhead console (temperature and compass) disappeared? Mine dimmed out and I was determined to fix it on my own.

Instead of paying $130 at the local Ford dealership, I did it for free!

You will need a slot and Phillips screwdriver, a T-10 screwdriver, and a soldering iron with some solder.

Est. time: 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

This quick fix had my problem solved in 15 minutes. 2002 F150 SuperCrew. I've had the truck for almost a year and it has bothered me since day one. Glad I found this video. Excellent instructions.

I rode around with my console display out for 3 years because the Ford dealership said I needed a new unit that would cost me about $400. Thanks to your post I've fixed my console in less than 30 minutes. Great post. Thanks!
