Hello All,
I have driven my F250 for about 50 miles and the ECU reads "Not Ready" on my Scan Gauge. I also an intermittent analog instrument cluster. I took the cluster apart and cannot find any bad solder joints, so I am using the San Gauge to read my speed, water temp, voltage, etc.
I get these odd error codes sometimes (upstream O2 sensors swapped, downstream O2 sensor high voltage) that the dealership seems unconcerned about, and of course it did not do it when they had it. The last time that I reset my error codes, the computer never gave me "Ready-No Codes" after I cleared it, even after about 50 miles of driving.
Can the ECU be bad causing my cluster not to work, but still show good values on my scan gauge? Or do I have two different problems?
I really do not want to have a surprise bill when I take it in for our annual safety and emissions test. Unless I take it to a dealership, the garage will charge me for nothing and then tell me to take it to the dealership.
This truck was a plow truck before I bought it, and it has quite a bit of under body rust.
Does anyone know of any specific connectors that get corroded, that can cause anything like I am experiencing?
TIA
