I just bought a 2006 F-150 Lariat and I will be driving down the road I will lose all power to the dash, everything goes down to 0 and the dash indicator lights come on, I also lose my A/C. Does anyone know what this could be and am I able to fix it or do I need to bring it to Ford?

My 06 would lose power windows , a.c. , and wipers I believe . Took the cluster out myself ( easy with YouTube video ) 10 minutes tops. Sent it off to a re-builder and got it back in ten days . Saved myself hundreds off dealer prices. Best of luck.

Your symptoms sound to me like you are losing "ground" circuit somewhere. That's about the only thing common to all gauges you mention, and there are several connections from the instrument cluster to the climate control system. The instrument cluster is on one fused circuit that could be flaky. In either of those cases juice could be backfeeding through the indicator lights.


That type problem can be a bitch kitty to track down - impossible without documentation. If you are up to trying it yourself, I have a full blown factory wiring manual for a 2005 model F150 in searchable PDF format that I will send you. It's way too large a file (36 Megabytes) to attach or send through the forum messages. SO, if you PM me a private email address that can handle an attachment that size I'll email it, or I can provide you a link to it where you can download it. Maybe that will help.
