Regarding the 01 XLT I bought a week ago: Is it possible there's a correlation between my adj foot pedals, compass/temp display, and visor mirror lights not working or am I faced with 3 separate issues. Just looking for a place to start. THX

 

Check your fuses.

 

Compass is pos anyway.
solder joints were bad...electronics stop working
You not missing nothing
temp is on ac for eatc and it's nothing but a crappy compass that never worked.

 

I know the compass/temp display was never very good since I've had 3 trucks in this generation over the years. I just hate having something not work even though not very good. As far as the pedals and visor lighting I've not been able to determine which fuse controls them from the owners manual.

 

From the 2002 owners manual ('01 should be the same), starting on page 205, power pedal is same fuse as drivers seat (#112 under the hood).
Overhead console is #23 on the interior fuse block, not sure what the sun visor lights are fused with (would think #23 also since it is also the fuse for the auto dimming rear view mirror, but not sure).
The pedal could just be a disconnected or failed motor, a common thing with them.

 

Thanks I forgot about the fuse box under the hood. Will check it out. Looks as though I have 3 separate issues to work on. That's work for the fall. Right now I need to get it inspected and tagged then start my repairs I have scheduled for the house.
