Dashboard Lights and Gauges

The vehicle’s dashboard serves as its control panel, providing the driver with gauges indicating speed, distance, temperature and the amount of gasoline left in the tank. It also houses light indicators such as a seat belt warning light and an engine malfunction light.

Why my side lights and dash board not working on Ford Fiesta?

You should check your car manual to see if any fuse controls both of these and replace the fuse.

Since you had to ask the question, you probably don't know how to do this yourself so the best thing is to ask someone who does know or ask a mechanic.

If your SRS light is staying on what does that mean?

There is a problem with the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), air bags.

Why won't your horn and dome light work You checked all the fuses?

Two separate circuits with two separate fuses and two separate problems. Assuming the dome light bulb is good, the dome light has a switch which allows you to put it in three different modes, on all the time, on only when a door is open and off all the time. Be sure the switch is not in the "off all the time" mode.

Assuming the fuse for the horn is okay, the horn problem could be the switch contacts in the steering wheel are dirty, a faulty horn relay or a bad horn. It will take a little detective work to find the cause.

What does it mean when the TC light is on in your Land Rover?

TC (short for Traction Control) is designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and therefore maintain the control of the vehicle when excessive throttle is applied by the driver and the condition of the road surface (due to varying factors) is unable to cope with the torque applied. You may have turned it off and it is showing you that its off or you may have a faulty TC.

Which Ford vehicles are likely to have a problem with the digital odometer display being intermittent or going completely blank?

The intermittent digital odometer is a common problem in 1999 through 2003 Ford F-series pickups (F150, F250 and F350) and full-size SUVs (Expedition & Explorer) that have digital odometers. There have also been reports of similar symptoms in a few 2005 models.

The intermittent fading or blank odometer problem is generally caused by defective solder joints on a printed circuit board located on the back of the instrument cluster.

Ford dealers routinely replace the entire instrument cluster as the standard repair procedure. The problem with this is that unless the cluster is covered under warranty, the cost of repairs may be as much as $600.

Used clusters are less expensive, but they are prone to the same problem. Used clusters must be programmed to the vehicle mileage and the ignition keys will have to be programmed to the PATS system in the used cluster before the vehicle will start. The cost of programming these will likely be in the hundreds of dollars, making the used cluster a much less desirable option.

The most economical solution is to repair the problem yourself. The only cost is a couple hours of your time. There's good information about repairing the problem yourself on several Ford forums. Also, a complete website dedicated exclusively to Ford intermittent odometer problem can be found at www.odometer-repair.com .

What some of the dashboard symbols in your car mean?

All dashboard warning lights and symbols are illustrated and explained in the Owners Manual.

See "Related Questions" below for where to find free online versions of 1996 and up Owners Manuals.

Call your local Ford dealer's service department, and ask a service adviser what this might possibly be. Without other information here on the color of the lamp blinking and what other indicators surround this one, it will be quite difficult to diagnose your problem here.

If you go to ford.com, and flow the links, you can download a copy of your manuals. User Guide, recommended maintenance, etc...

How do you replace the instrument panel light on a 95 Ford Escort wagon?

If none of the dash lights are working, then it won't be the cluster. You are going to have a problem with one of the fuses, a switch, or wiring. Does it have running/tail lights? If it is just one bulb, then,

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

2000 maxima se- dash lights where temp control is only half illuminate?

I've been told by a dealer that the lights just wiggle loose and only need about a half to quarter turn to start working again. Conveniently, they quoted me $150-200 to fix them. I may try pulling the unit and seeing what I can do myself because it looks like trash, but it isn't worth $200.

Like the other answer, sometimes they wiggle loose or burn out. They are very easy to replace, but the bulbs are costly, about $18.00 each. I bought used instrument panel from junk yard, $75.00 and took bulbs from there (has about 14 bulbs in it and used more than 4 bulbs from it which equalled the cost of the panel). Take out instrument panel and replace them where they are burned out. EASY.

1994 Toyota pickup speedometer do not work Is there a sinsor on the transmission Can it go bad and cause it not to work?

Hello, If I'm not mistaken, there speedometers on 1994 Toyota pickups rely on a mechanical cable connected to the speedometer on one end and the transmission on the other. A plastic gear in the transmission spins the cable. The cable can fray causing it to fail and the gear inside the transmission can also lose a tooth or two with time and wear. Good luck!

Hello on my 1994 Toyota I do have a sensor on the the transmission which supplies an input to the odometer and speedometer. In my case my odometer is indicating the mileage but not my vehicles speed. I am now checking the foil circuit board as the speedometer does not look accessible.

The 1994 is electronic the with a speed sensor on the transmission that sends pulses to the speedometer. If the Odometer is working then the sensor on the transmission is more than likely functioning correctly. These trucks are pretty notorious for this issue and usually it can be fixed by pulling the cluster apart, replacing the capacitors, fixing the circuit board if there has been any shorts and giving it a good cleaning. There are companies you can send the cluster off to and they will repair the circuit, test and send back to you.

How do you replace the light on the on-off buttons for cruise control in a 1999 Ford Explorer?

On the backside of your steering wheel there are two screws you need to remove. These are covered over with circular covers which you can easily remove. Having removed the 2 screws you can gently remove the whole unit which contains the air bag. You will see the control switches for your cruise control and your light bulbs for your cruise control (octagon like head - may be blue in color). You can turn this counter clockwise and lift off. The cruise controls may also be released from their switches by gently pulling apart (should you have need to replace them) . Some people remove these when the rubber touch pads get old however they are needed to keep your horn grounded. It is basically removing only two buttons in the back of your steering wheel and the rest is a breeze. Hope this has been helpful.
