Well title says it. My instrument cluster goes on and off while driving. Here's a link to videos and photos I took of it:
. When it goes into this mode the turn signals, brights, gas gauge, tps warning all work fine. Otherwise nothing else works. Outside of the instrument cluster everything works fine with the car (lights, fans, a/c radio). It seems only the instrument cluster is effected. It goes out on me on the highway, at a red light, or driving residential areas nothing seems to trigger this, and nothing seems to stop it I have tried to fix this myself, and taken it to Ford with no luck. The Ecu and instrument cluster is new, replaced by Ford with oem parts.
Now here's what makes me sweat, I tried turning the car off and on once in this mode to stop it and the car bricked. The car went into antitheft mode and would not start. This is why I ended up at Ford replacing the ecu and instrument cluster. The car eventually started at ford and I haven't turned it off in this mode again.
Any help is appreciated, thank you for reading.
