Expedition 4WD 8-cyl

  • 0 miles
Intensity of the lighting supplied to the electronic message center (which displays mileage, odometer, remaining fuel mileage, fuel economy, compass, etc.) is provided through a photo cell on the dashboard. It is wired incorrectly, so that high intensify light (as in daylight) reduces the amount of light displayed. This is backwards. It makes all functions of the electronic message center (odometer, etc.), impossible to read in normal daylight conditions. Local Ford dealership tells me that this problem is common to a significant number of Ford cars and trucks for several years, including and more recently than 2007. A letter to Ford did not provide any suggestions for repair. In order to read anything on this display in normal light, it is necessary to duck your head down and stare at it for about ten or more seconds. If this action has not yet caused any fatalities, I can't imagine why. Updated 10/24/2014
