THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE PLUGS. THE DASH GOES DEAD, INTERIOR LIGHTS DONT WORK. POWER WINDOWS DONT WORK RADIO SHUTS OFF. VEHICLE RUNS IMPROPERLY. THE VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING OR MOVING. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND FORD TRUCKS FROM AS EARLY AS 2002-2008 HAVE THIS ISSUE. ITS UNSAFEAND A KNOW ISSUEWITH THESE YEAR FORD TRUCK F150-F450. A NEW DASH IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND USED ONES RUN THE RISK OF THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. THE FIX IS SIMPLE, THE COST IS NOT. THERES VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE DOZENS OF FORUMS. EXCURSION EXPEDITIONS ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IM N THE MID WEST ITS COLD. I DROVE TO PICK UP A COIPLE ATVS AN HOUR NORTH. HALFWAY BACK ISSUES HAPPENED WHILE WINDOW WAS DOWN. DROVE HOME PREG FIANCE 5YR OLD IN THE BACK -3 OUTSIDE-15 WINDCHILL N WE'RE DRIVE 65MPH TO GET HOME. THAT WAS MISSERABLE.
