I just had this problem in my 2002. The dealer said it had a short in the steering column.
This is a pretty common problem. What you do is remove the ign loc-cyl and upper and lower column pieces from the column. The shift handle has a little bundle of wires coming out of it. Trace the wire bundle along the column until you get to the connector. Disconnect it and inspect for a chaffe. Look hard because I've seen one as small as a tip of a pin. Basically when you are shifting the truck from park to drive the wire moves along the aluminum column chaffing the wire causing a power wire to touch ground and bam their goes your fuse!! I have had zero luck repairing the wires due to them being so small. It can be done i have always just replaced the shifter handle. Typically customers are so baffled and confused about whats going on they don't mind paying the 75 bux to fix the problem! 100% sure this is your prob just remember you have to replace the fuse after the problem is fixed.

How do you repair the odometer light in a 2000 Ford F150?
According to the international automotive technicians network, of which I am a member, you will need to remove the instrument cluster and replace it with a remanufactured unit. It will have to be reprogrammed by the Ford dealership. ---------------------------------------- This is the intermittent odometer problem, which is very common is 1999 - 2003 F-series pickups (F150, F250, F350), as well as the Expedition and Explorer for the same years. There is no need to spend $600 or more replacing your instrument cluster. You can easily repair this problem yourself in about an hour. There is a lot of information about the problem and a detailed repair manual at http://www.odometer-repair.com. Thanks for the update as it is greatly appreciated.
WHY would your Odometer go on and off in ford F-150?
There are many reasons, depending on the year. The most common problem in F-150 (also F-250, F350, Explorer and Expedition) model years 1999 - 2003 is caused by defective solder joints on a circuit board that passes the odometer signals to the dash display.The repair is expensive if you take it to your Ford dealer because the dealer's method of fixing the problem is to replace your entire instrument cluster. You should expect to pay around $600 if you decide to have the dealer replace it.You could also replace your instrument cluster with a used instrument cluster, but you would probably have the same problem with the used cluster. You would also have significant additional costs in having your ignition keys and PATS (Passsive Anti-Theft System) reprogrammed to work together. Your vehicle would not start until the reprogramming was done.The practical solution to this very common problem is to simply repair the intermittent odometer yourself. The entire problem can be eliminated in about an hour using only simple hand tools and a low-wattage soldering iron. Detailed information on this problem, as well as a detailed step-by-step repair guide is available at http://www.odometer-repair.com.
