Since this is the 2015+ thread we would recommend you trade it in for a new model

Yes, posting in the 1997 - 2003 Ford F150 section would most likely bring you more/better help but as a guess it's very possibly in the linkage underneath that moves the lever for the readout. The linkage simply wears out over a period of time depending on usage.

EDIT: Mods moved while I was responding. Hope OP finds his thread.

He should. I left a three-day redirect on it.

Well your right on.


You might be able to adjust the gear indicator but more than likely it's broken. So you have to either buy the indicator and cable assembly or new plastic piece

Take a look at this video, he'll tell you how to fix and adjust it for free. I know in the video it is for a ranger, but it should be the same concept on our trucks, just the part will be in a different location I imagine.

if the video doesnt work you can also look at this thread, should have everything you need.

Actually there are 2 bolts holding the shiftier on in the steering colum. They come loose and this happens. If you get under there and tighten them that will fix it. common problem. Locktight on the threads is good..
