When this truck launched, it was an awesome time to be a Ford dealer. We had Lightning, we had Cobra and we even had the little SVT Focus.

If you are comfortable at all with soldering, you can fix the odometer very easily by resoldering one or two points on the circuit board. Plenty of KZbin videos available on fixing that.

[@dennisfahey2379]

The vacuum display problem is common with age. Two things to check. If you start the car and there is no display - spin your dash brightness knob and see if it comes right up. That could be an easy fix. The second is they run on a higher voltage generated on the module and a lot of the time a simple cheap 10 cent capacitor dries out and doesn't provide the bumped up voltage. This can be temperature sensitive while its decaying. Electronic Techs have a process for this. You buy a can of "cold spray" and a variable heat gun. You identify the failure mode and apply whichever is appropriate. In this case it fails when cold. So you let it warm up and work then spray a little bit of chill in sections across the board until it fails. This is how you isolate an intermittent. Then you find a replacement part and replace it. Simple. And note leaving anything variable in one setting indefinitely is a mistake. You should periodically "exercise" every knob in your car to keep things working. This means all heater/AC settings, brightness adjustments, light switches, entertainment buttons/knobs etc.
