Just thought that I would mention this. When you take your overhead computer down to re-solder a loose chip, it is very worthwhile to go ahead and put a little solder on all of the 680 and 620 chip ends. If you don't, you will be probably having the same problem later on.

After seeing inside I can't believe Ford charges $185 for an o/h unit!

Excellent fix! Wish my fingers were a little smaller but it works like a champ now! I'd like to keep the display lit to full brightness.....Anyone know which harness "wire to cut" to keep the display from dimming when the headlights are turned on?

Mine is the same way. IT IS SO ANNOYING. It depends on wether I park on ahill or flat ground. Sometimes my low fuel light comes on and I check it and it says like 250 miles to empty and it starts counting down like 4-5 miles every 1/2 mile I drive, like it's eventually going to coorect itself and be right on at 0.
If I park facing downhill, just the opposite. It will show 20 miles to empty when I have a 1/2 tank left and the number wont change, it stays at 20. I can't stand it. I would love to know how to fix this.

sorry for the
