#79 of 111 97 f150 door open indicator by 97f150needwork Jan 21, 2009 (3:18 pm)
my door open indicator light has been staying on more and more lately. On several occassions my battery has been dead because dome light was left on. I took bulb out of dome light.... but now notice the light on the back of the cab is on. I have looked for the switch on door frame to see if I could work the corosion out of it - I can not find it - this is a three door model. Does anyone know where the switch is located or how I can disable the door open indicator. I can live without dome light. I also have a problem with the key in ignition warning ding ding ding going off even when the doors are closed (I live in an area where leaving keys in vehicle is norm) Replies to this message: gkliegibel (Nov 02, 2009 6:25 am)
#80 of 111 Heater fan stays on when key is off by kyredo Jan 26, 2009 (9:26 pm)
I have an F-150 (2000). It seems to have a mind of its own. Infrequently the wipers just start to operate. Typically they will make 2 - 3 passes then quit. This happens about once in 500 to 1000 miles. I can live with this but....   Last night after when stopping the truck and turning the key off, the heater fan stayed on, So did the light of the direction and thermometer. I tapped the switch by the thermometer and turned off the heater, the fan stopped. This morning the battery was too weak to start the truck. It's been cold and maybe the battery is bad. (?)   I too have had the situation with the dome light staying on. I'm going to try the WD40 and hope it works for me too.   Any ideas why the electrical system seems to have a mind of its own?

#84 of 111 Alternator number 3 by texstaxi Mar 23, 2009 (5:47 pm)
I have replaced my alternator 3 times. The voltage is up and down and very unstable. The lights(all) headlights, dome and dash are pulsating like a police car. They see no humor in this. I have looked for broken wires , corroded harnesses, bad grounds etc. but have had no luck. This 3rd alt. was overcharging but now it isn't charging at all. Anybody had the same or similar problem?
#85 of 111 odometer display intermittent by sfechtig Apr 06, 2009 (4:27 am)
I have a 2000 F-150 on which the odometer/trip meter digital display is intermittent. It is on most of the time, but sometimes goes out for a few minutes. It will usually come back on by itself after a few minutes, or a slight tap on the instrument panel will usually make it come back on. Both the odometer and trip meter appear to count normally. All the other instruments in the panel work fine. Does anyone know if fixing this will require replacing the whole instrument cluster, or if there is a seperate connection or circuit board for the odometer display?   Thanks, Scott Replies to this message: crawdoogie (Apr 11, 2009 12:54 pm) platinummike (Apr 20, 2009 5:36 pm)

Replying to: sfechtig (Apr 06, 2009 4:27 am) This is a very common problem with 1999-2000 F-150's. The dealer charges several hundred dollars to replace instrument cluster circuit board. Fortunately it is fairly easy to fix yourself.

#87 of 111 Bad FUSE? by platinummike Apr 20, 2009 (5:36 pm)
Replying to: crawdoogie (Apr 11, 2009 12:54 pm) I have a Ford F150 Platinum. Everything was working fine, until my electric tilt, electric foot pedal adjustments, and my power seat would not work. When you puch the buttons, you can hear the relay clicking under the seat. Went back to Ford and they said they replaced a fuse that was bad behind the glove box.(not accessible to regular people). They fixed it and it happened again about 1 week later. Same symptoms. Going back to dealer tommorrow. Any ideas whats wrong?
