Ok I'll start by saying love the site it's awesome. Now I had the same prob with the over head console black screen did not work at all on my 02 f150 4x4 lariat. Its been that way for a few years. I read this forum and fixed it some what. Now I have the #2 problem with the temp. -40 degrees and ICE. I found the sensor cleaned it no change then I tested the connections and found that there was not any power to the sensor while the console was on. Do I need to take the console back apart? if so what do I need to check and if not where do I need to look for the problem at? Any suggestions?

 

hmm you sure it's stock? The one in my king ranch only says the compass and the temp is on the auto climate control screen

 

Yep, it's for sure stock. I do also have the outside temp reading on the climate control screen, and that one works.

 

One of the flat 510 resistors fell off completely. I was able to tape it on with electrical tape.

 

Don't count on that working for long.

 

Its not that important to me. Im not good enough with soldering to to not fry the resistor if i try soldering it.

 

If you wanted it fixed, Im sure any mom and pop electronics shop or computer repair place can solder it for you in 5mins. Might even make their day giving them $10 to fix it. Times are tough for a lot of people and a little can go a long way.

 

That came on xlt.

Lariat and KR had temp on EATC, not on ovhd console. Only compass.

Maybe its been replaced andoand fudged with,maybe you have xlt with eatc added.? Do you have the homelink and travel note system?
