I could see the radio.. but, it would be impossible for the A/C to come on without the motor running...

The battery is now completely dead. I have it charging now, but before the truck died, last night when I ran it, NOTHING on the dash worked. AC, AC control lights, dash lights, needles, etc.. none of it worked... starting the truck was no issue, it started right up - the battery didn’t seem weak at all so I think something shorted out maybe??

If only one truck this is the wrong forum section


no sorry, should only be one username with only one truck (the 2017 5.0)


sorry, I’m new here and trying to figure out the forum

Ah. Sorry. I didn’t realize that you were just replying to old post.

Youll get better help if you post in forum for 2017 trucks (this is 04-08 section)


Look here:

While it's running wiggle the ignition switch to see what happens. Could be bad.
