KOdenwelder Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 My '07 Fusion SEL has (3) dash lights coming on intermittently. At varying times the high beam indicator, emergency brake, and the oil pressure diagnotic lights come on together. When this happens the a/c quits blowing cold air, (which I'm guessing is the compressor kicking off as the fan still blows), and the blinkers do not work (on the dash, they are working properly outside the car). When the 3 lights go off, the a/c gets cold again and the blinkers function normally. I have hooked into the ODB and there are no codes or freeze frames in the vehicle's computer. Has anyone had this same issue or any suggestions as to the source and possible repair? Service Tech said it will have to break in order for him to fix it!?! He could not find the cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) There are likely no fault codes because the computer system never sensed a 'real' problem. Probably just a fault within your instrument cluster or corroded connections to the panel. The fault is likely also affecting the module communications network.

KOdenwelder Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks eGuru. I contacted a couple of instrument cluster repair companies to get it checked and/or repaired. Looks like a circuit board replacement is running between $ 300.-$ 325.00 dollars. One of them initially recommended getting another from a junk yard but corrected himself saying that the key may be electronically linked to the board and cause the car to not start. That's new to me, I know they have chips in the key but seems a little over the top on the repair/replacement side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have heard of the new IC needing the configuration from the old IC to be downloaded like so NOTE: If installing a new IPC , it is necessary to upload the module configuration information to the scan tool prior to removing the IPC . This information must be downloaded into the new IPC after installation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Part of that is to maintain the odometer reading (dealer has to download the old config and upload it to the new cluster) but I think that's also where it stores the key information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
