Default 2002 F150 Odometer display

I wanted to thank you for posting this and i need to attempt this today and the photos are a great help. I just tried the overhead console fix and that worked yesterday and that had never worked, took about half an hour. Good trial to verify my soldering skills.

You can pull the indicator out and look at it but idk what you'll need to do to fix it. To change the color look up my LED cluster color change in the 97-03 section, it's a little more complicated and time consuming

Sounds like the cable that connects to the gear shifter indicator on the dash it broken. My brother had this same problem on his ranger. Believe they quote him 150 to fix it but i would see if that's even the problem first

Yea probably the cable. The only other thing on it is a spring and if it broke it would stay in park. Id go to a junk yard and grab one for real cheap
