Where can I find a printed circuit for a gauge cluster?
My '93 F150 needs a replacement printed circuit for the gauge cluster. LMC and National Parts Depot don't seem to carry them. Does anyone know where I can find one?

I doubt you will find one, you could replace the whole panel, with cautions that while all from a certain generation will fit, only certain years will work properly. That and it should come from a comparably equipped truck, like at least; gas or diesel, automatic or manual. There is the option of going in and soldering wires to make up for the damaged circuits, that requires a skill level not possessed by everyone. Both of my trucks seem to be damaged in the part that triggers the alternator, both do their other functions well, so I just mapped around that, and went to the fuse box for an alternator trigger.

I found an ignition on only fuse in the fuse box, and tapped that. I did it direct to the terminal on the alternator at first, but changed it to with a 500 ohm resistor in the circuit later, and it does seem to help. I still don't think it charges as well as the original setup, but it hasn't left me stranded either.
or you can just turn the box over, and solder.
