2004-2008 Ford F150 odometer lamp replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2014
- Changing out the lamp on a 04-08 f150 is a quick and easy process you will need a 8mm socket for the negative battery terminal and a 7mm socket for the 6 screws on the interior trim and instrument cluster. You will need either a #37 or a #74 bulb to complete this project. you can pick this bulb up and most if not all auto parts stores.

Thanks Man. I know this video was posted years ago, but it still helped me out. I appreciate the tips and expertise.
Followed your example and the 74 bulb worked like a charm. Thanks, saved me a lot of money, total work time about 12 minutes just because it was 98 degrees.
I know that this is an older video, but thanks for taking the time to share it. I used this to quickly change this exact bulb in my 2006 F150 today. Literally took me about 20 minutes thanks to you.
The guy at Napa was trying to argue it was an LED bulb and was not fixable. Thanks man! This is a life saver!
Glad the video helped!
Thank you sir! I have used several videos to do repairs on cars, motorcycles, etc... this is hands-down the best DIY video I have used. Got the job done in less than 25 minutes on an 07 FX4.
Awesome glad it helped
Excellent video. My 07's just went out and I had no idea what or how to do to fix. Thank goodness there's people who share their knowledge.
I finally got rid of that Ford. It was a headache. Went through coil packs constantly. Wiring issues.. i don't miss it at all
Thank you for posting! Extremely helpful and much easier than expected thanks to your instructions.
37 bulb was on point. Just got it at auto value. The 74 bulb is a little bit longer(depth wise) I looked at both in the parts store. Thank you for this video. Literally could not find the part # anywhere, and no parts stores can look it up because they don't even have the info. Hats off to you guy. Been without the odometer light for years! Thanks for saving the day. The little things in life I tell ya.
This repair took me an hour to complete. I am impressed by your 17 minute video. I Cracked, then subsequently broke the foam area at the top of the dash into 3 pieces. Now I just open the door and the odometer reading is lit up! Thank you for posting and saving me money.
Just wanted to say thanks for the very informative instructions. I have a 2007 F150. With just a basic socket set, and a little effort being a non mechincal genius, took me about twenty being safe first, well done!
Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to document the process and for adding the details on which bulbs to use. I had it swapped out in less than 15 minutes. Thanks!
Jordon Bial glad I could help
Thanks for taking the time to explain how simple it is. Great video!
I could here the chickens too
I have been putting this off for years thinking the cluster was bad on my 04. 15 minutes later its done. Thanks for the video!
I would just like to say that my Ford dealership quoted me $700 to fix that bulb. $700 for what you say should take 10 minutes. Thank you for sharing and helping other people like me
Some of you are having issues with the LCD screen not showing trip/odometer miles. The LCD screen has six silver prongs(Male ends) that sit inside a (female) sensor that is soldered to the cluster. If any of those prongs are out or bent the screen will go out. Suggest taking it out pull the LCD add a little bit of Di Electric grease and bam you should be back in action. If you look online in Ford Forums there are several pages of this same problem. A 15 minute fix could save you a bundle. Reply if you have further questions.
Hi Kelly Hons, I remove the cluster to resolder that 821 resistor to make the brake light go out. After checking the brake fluid sensor and fluid level. The emergency brake switch was good. Reassembled and the odometer isn't working. I didn't disconnect the battery ? I will check for misaligned pin of that right hand harness connector. Some people are saying blow it out with compressed air? Thanks and will keep you updated. Yet why would the prongs be a problem if I didn't mess with the odometer unit ?
@@327JohnnySS Did you figure this out? I was also soldering 821 connector and upon reassembly I’m having same problem. No digits on odo display
@@MarcusKearny , I found that one of the pins was slightly bent from the factory. It would work intermittent or a speed bump.lol. I took a small pair of needle nose pliers and carefully straightened out the pin that got bent from factory. Just carefully inspect the connections. Good luck and I hope that this helps. 👍
@@327JohnnySS yep TY! Turns out that did not have odometer LCD seated correctly, once I did it’s showing damage so ordered a new one for install today.
This operation worked out on my odometer , 04 super crew, using a 74 bulb. The only exception was that I removed about three screws on the plastic backing to access the bulb. It all works either way. Thanks for the video. Took about 20 min to complete.
Great Video! I have a 2008 Ford F150 4.6 V8 and this worked perfectly! When I picked up my light from O'Rielly they told me that sometimes instrument clusters lights are sautered into the casing. That got me worried, but this isn't the case on my Truck the bulb is all you need you can reuse the casing that comes with the truck when removing the old bulb.
This video was very helpful but I undid the screws holding the lower trim panel also so it gave me more room to work with. I took me about 20 minutes to do this thanks to this video
thanks a ton for sharing this. two things i really like, the yota key thing or whatever, and the chickens watchint u work
dang thats awesome, I got a replacement cluster and noticed that screen does not light up so I can fix it now because of you. thank you sir.
Hey joe thanks a lot recently bought an 05 with the same problem, and this video helped so much , my bulb was a lil hard to come of but I just turned it and it came out! From Long Beach CA take care.
Your welcome my friend, glad the video helped
Thanks man , I have been putting this off for too long but you made it look easy. I will get her done right away so I can stop using my cell phone light to see in the dark. Thank again and good video.
Did you get it done? It's a simple job
@@idahodeerhunter yes it took all of 15min, I did not like the fact Napa only sales the whole part bulb and socket for $9.00. and the socket did not fit so I used to old socket.
RUclips has saved me so much money. If it weren't for video's like this I would always be going to the dealer.
Robert Gesslein no kidding I love RUclips for diy help videos. I wonder all the time what did I do before the tube!
Nice work. I love the step by step and explained process, thank you!
Kaos Lynn thank you!
Thanks a million, Joe! Just did this on my 2008 and it was as easy as you made it look.
Thanks for a Great video! You took all the guesswork out of the repair!
Very well done video. After watching video, I changed out the bulb in about 20 minutes. Process was just like the video. Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks - Much better than the Chilton manuals I grew up with!
I was talking about that with a customer of the old school day's. The shops we had worked at with a Wall of manuals that must have cost thousands back then. You actually had to read, flipped pages and was so grateful for a picture or diagrams back then .
Just wanted to say thanks for the informative video, it was a great help. Took all of 15 min. Works now. Thanks
Thank you so much!!! Just saved a ton of money by doing this myself. You are the man!!!
Thanks i went to auto zone and got a #74 bulb. That took longer than the actual install.
Great video work. I have the 2007 XLT I need to do this on and this is just the info I needed. Thanks for posting.
FYI, my XLT does have the heated mirrors, but the switch for that is located below the climate controls, not on the cluster panel, so the extra plug behind there is for something else (models with switch for adjustable pedals?).
Also, another difference between the #37 and #74 bulbs is rated average life. The #74 average life is 500 hrs because it burns hotter to get the additional candle power, while the #37 average life is 2500-3500 hrs. So the #37 may not be quite as bright but will last a whole lot longer.
thinks for the info on the bulb life. in my opinion bulb life really doesn't matter to much when you can replace it within 15 minutes. thanks for watching
***** Done a little more research and found that extra plug behind the cluster panel is in fact for an adjustable pedal switch.
Thanks for the video, Bruddah. I have the same issue with my 2007 F150. I think I'm gonna change them all to LED bulbs
Gotta go thru the whole thing also and want to upgrade to LED what # and type did u use? and more importantly where can I get them Amazon?
Great video. I would not have had the confidence to do this without seeing your video first. Took me under 15 minutes knowing what to expect as I pulled it apart.
Thank you, i too had to replace my odometer and your video was very helpful
great video! made the job super quick. thank you
Thanks Joe, you da man
Thanks for the video really helped me out...
Probably the best video out there when it comes to working on and replacing this particular light bulb. Thank you!
MrCes1966 thank you
I followed your instructions last night and now have a working Odometer back light.....again, many many thanks.
The #74 bulb is a little bright for my liking however I am not going to change it. I think the #37 bulb is probably the best choice to use IMO.
MrCes1966 that's great to hear happy it worked out for you
Good job, buddy! Appreciate the helpful video. My light has been out a while, and it's a nuisance. This makes it a doable job for me. Bill
Bill Rhodes hope it helps, if I can do it hell anyone can
Great presentation. I’m ready to change out my bulb.
Great video, but I had issues getting the cluster cover off. The back tabs stuck and if you lift it up to much the cluster cover will break. Just a warning if it doesn't come free pull it towards you and use a pry tool along the back or you will be gluing your cluster cover back together
I replaced the bulb and test it before replacing all the parts and it worked as it should. I put everything together and wouldn't you know it, bulb is out. I didn't have time to investigate so I'll check on it tomorrow. Could it be that the contacts are not sitting correctly??? If that is the case, how would I deal with the little prongs on the base that twists on there???
Just found this video and replaced mine in about 10 mins thank you!
Thank you for this video, plan on doing this to my '07. I have an emissions bulb that won't go out, while I'm in the back of the cluster could i similarly remove that bulb and leave gone?
What search word did you have them look up at NAPA because they can’t find it. I tried mileage bulb and dash instrument panel
I’m having blank mileage issue , of course stupid emissions test is in a few weeks.. wana try and get it figured out before I go there.
Great Video! Saved me $100 that the dealer wanted. Bulb cost me $1.72 at NAPA
What is the part number?
Thanks a lot! I did this in under 10 minutes, really easy to do.
Awesome job. Thank you
You can buy the led display for odometer seperately on flea bay
This didn't go well for me. I was trying to get the light bulb holder out. It came apart and stuff fell inside the housing.
Thanks man doing mine now. Appreciate the detailed video
Cool man! very good explanation! I'm going to try it.
go for it. it's a simple project
Good job ...thanks ! Will be doing mine this next week!
why are there two (2) different colors on the bulb socket ?
Thank you for sharing this
Great job and great video! Thanks for posting!
Very helpful video, but when I replaced this bulb in my 2007 F150 FX4, it still doesn't work? Any additional ideas? Should I be concerned about polarity and flip the bulb around?
Damn I was waiting to see how you got the shifter cable off the gear indicator! Maybe next time lol, well done just the same.
Good video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Mine just went out last night
Excellent "how to." Thanks!
How many bulbs total are in the cluster?
Gracias Amigo...!
Gonna attempt to try this on the bulb. Don't have Tilt Steering,though. Can't move the steering wheel.The push knob for the milage,doesn't work either. Also,do you know anything about the defrost not blowing out,when the defrost is on ? It's a 08' Ford F150. The Heat works,and so does blower motor. Just won't blow out the dash when the defrost is on.
Not sure on the heater control. Bulb replacement is easy
I have the cluster panel instrument panel out of my 2006 F150 and after I plugged it all back and I had no dash lights signal lights work but The Eliminator on the instrument panel cluster does not Flash
All started with the airbag light not Illuminating when the key is turned on so I thought it was a burned-out bulb but I couldn't find that either I just made things worse
Dude! Thanks for posting. Mine has been out for about 9 years. You got chickens?
No problem hopefully it helps! Not any more got rid of the yard birds a couple of years ago
Now fix the Blend flap for the heaters yours sounds like mine 😅 ,, your video sure help. mine was out for a bit also
Thanks for posting this video. I'm going to attempt this myself in my fiancés truck tomorrow. Curious about something, I noticed when you were checking the light, the vents make a noise. What and why does this truck all of a sudden start doing that? I noticed his does it too. Thanks in advance
The noise you were hearing was the speedo cable resetting itself after I tugged a little to hard on it. No big deal
Dolly... I have the same problem on my 05 and it's not the speedo cable. It's the motorized vent door either opening or closing very slowly.. mine does it every once in a while and I'm just going to live with it rather than going into the dash
Thanks, I;ll do mine
Awesome video. Thank for taking the time to post.
Hi joe, I tried to replace mine and it was difficult to get back in and didn't work when I put it back in. Like the chickens in the background LOL any hints great hearing Hannity on the radio.
Check to make sure the bulb is twisted in all way. Second sell it and buy a tundra. Lol
thanks for the video... I just got a used 06, and the odometer went blank within 2 days, is it the bulb or is it something else?? Thanks.. . any and all info would be greatly appreciated... Thanks..
6811 Chapelfield if it's completely blank it's more than a bulb. If you can still read the odometer but it's dark it's just the bulb. Best of luck
6811 Chapelfield read down in the comments there is a guy talking about some prongs being bent that cause the issue your having
Maybe it will help
I have 2008 fx2 f150 and when I use the remote start the doors lock, honks once then turns on, but immediately shuts off and redoes the starting procedure, and keeps on doing the same thing in a endless loop, if anybody knows what might be wrong please let me know , ive checked the fuses and reset the alarm nothing has worked.
Ive tried so many bulbs and leds. Whats the wattage on those bulbs. Went to pepboys and bought some 37 bulbs. Turns out they are 12v. But when i look at one of the burnt ones they say 14v. Leds go out and the bulbs arent bright enough for me. Do you have the part number for the factory bulbs?
number XIII sorry man I made this video so long ago I don't have any info for you
thank you very much for this video 😀👍🏼
Ty
thanks your video helped me out alot
Is it the same for the rest of the lights on the cluster. Cause the one that lights up there gas also went out. But upon taking them out I noticed they are 2 different sizes. You have any recommendations as to which ones to use. Please let me know asap. Ty
oCANICAg I don't you'll have to pull it out and take it to a auto parts store.
This video was great and it took all of 15 minutes and a $2 light bulb to make it right. However, I noticed the ABS light coming on intermittently since I did this. Anyone else having this trouble or is my ABS failing?
I never had the abs light come on but I did have the parking brake light come on. The electrical connection on the top left wasn't all the way clipped on check both plugs make sure that their both secure
I replaced the #37 lamp and still does not light up...any suggestions.
Next do one without tilt wheel its much more difficult.. but thanks
Joe h. You think i can do the same thing in my 2000 ford f150?...the check engine dont turn on....my friend told me that owner before me, maybe make scam
my mileage / trip mileage flashes. Sometime stays on and sometimes stays off..and flickers. It seems bright enough. Any ideas?
Brown Trout nope sorry
tried 2 times once with a bulb from auto zone and then parts from napa dont work !
Good video im thinking of putting led florescent lights but im heavy handed, my luck i will break something
Nice video. If I wanted to replace my instrument cluster, are they all universal fit? I have an xl.
I'd take it to the dealer.
Does the compass on the cluster reset when disconnecting those two cables from the top of the cluster?
Raudel Morales yes!
how did u get the tempurtaure and compass on
your LCD screne
thanks, went to dealer and they gave me a number to call so i did its an hour away and they wanted $17500, and an hour wait. like i say thanks and sweet
Thanks a lot for this video.
Followed this video to the 't' did the bulb replacement with the 74 bulb and now the break light is on ...disconnected the battery before i started this job ...reconnected and it was fine just went out and noticed it says on steady .......and one had this happen ???
Reply
Yes my brake is on has been since before I replaced the bulb. I figured out the top left wiring harness on the gauge cluster isn't making a good connection try taking it back off and putting it back on make sure it's locked down in place. Hope that helps
Thanks ill try that tomorrow ...this truck has never had a problem ...just that darn light.... must be that connection .....
+Ed McLaughlin I would bet money on it. I left my battery connected and wigged and pushed down on that left plug and the ebrake light went out
Check your brake fluid level.....
Was a fuse
Do you have an idea on about what size torx head those screws are? I plan to swap out all the bulbs at once as preventative maintenance since I've had one go out recently.
Null Nullion I don't sorry
Copy that. Was worth a shot.

great job thanks!!
Awesome video, but i have a question, just picked up an 06 f150., week later having an issue and wondering if this is the video to fix it.... right now the miles on my odometer do not show up.. so i dont kno how many miles i have since last week..lol.. when i turn my light on, i do get a green light on in the odometer housing, just no miles or anything shows in there.. is this the issue u were having when u replaced the bulb ? thanks brother... happy hunting ::))
no my issue was just the light. To be honest when we bought this truck the od light was out. the mileage was showing just fine. sounds like you have more of an issue then a bulb.
***** yeah sounds like i do... lol thanks for the reply bud !!
Did you ever find out the issue for you f150? We are currently having the same problem and has us frustrated.
what issue? the bulbs are a easy fix
***** my issue is the same issue Mrlava Lui has. I already tried the light bulb and it didn't help
Thank ya!
Good video. Thank you.
Thanks brother
Thank you soo much!!!!!
