Thank you for this! Just got a 04 and was bum that temp and compass was not working, look at fuses and seen that all the rest of it was working. Fig I look on KZfaq and bam found you! I never done anything like this before. So, fig I take it apart and sure enough it had come apart. Did my best fixing it plug it in and bam it works! TYVM! like/sub!

DUDE! Thanks 10x over. I have a 2002 Ford E.S.T. 4x4 with all the premium features. My overhead console has been out for years and eventually I just let it go b/c I've kept everything else functional. During larger repairs and service intervals I inquired with both my Ford Dealer Service Dept and another national brand Repair Facility and NEITHER were able to identify and/or resolve this issue - other than to dimiss it being a blown fuse.... And with no parts identified within the Ford Parts databank, their best suggestion was to simply "ignore it or potentially sink a lot more money into diagnostics and extensive parts replacement." However, after finding your video I'm SUPER hopeful to return it to service and it'll take me less than 15 minutes (and i'm far from an expert mechanic or soldierer). I'll give it a shot. At worst I can get the part from a junkyard or take the part in so they can find the part #. I know i'm way behind on how exhuastive the KZfaq audience of resources is and can be. Mad props out to you for the curiousity, aptitude, and taking the time to post & share. I'm excited to get this one little piece back to working.

I will be fixing mine soon thanks for the good video i wish more people would post fixes for these trucks i just replaced the engine and transmission with a jasper one i plan on keeping this truck for a lot of years. i really do like it.

Oh yeah, please be sure to chronicle any other fixes or interesting upgrade ideas you think helpful. I've subscribed to your feed. I still love my 2002 Sport Trac and think it remains a solid platform in the vacuum that remains since it left. I did a side by side comparison with the 2017 Canyon Denali the other day. Aside from being new, slightly more power & mpg efficiency(~4 city/Hwy), and over $45K for similarly equipped options, my Sport Trac still comes out on top. I'm looking forward to refreshing some outside aesthetics, inside electronics, and accessories to support outdoors (kayak rack) but happy otherwise with money saved......

Thanks man! Got mine fixec!

Straight and to the point. I like it!

It was very intersting information to explorer 2003

Thanks Man! I appreciate you putting this vid on here...helped me out!

Finally, a good video showing the actual work!!! Thank you! Does anyone know what fuse it is? If it was a fuse, wouldn't the last not work too?
