2005 No Dash Illumination Speedometer & Tachometer

[juan23]

Hello,

The lights on my speedometer and tachometer for my new 2005 TB do not light up. Fuses 13 and 17 are not in the car for some reason... Does anyone know why or how to fix this? Does anyone know of a good mechanic in NYC area who can help me fix this?
Thanks

It's most likely your FEM- https://forums.fordthunderbirdforum...ectronic-module-fem-2002-2005.5560/post-35306

If the shifter console light is also out it’s almost certainly the FEM.

You were right fem went bad. The ford dealership diagnostics charged $ 250 with tax . An additional Charge of $115 to remove. I’ll be sending it for refurbishing. My question is it easy to reinstall just plug in or is there codes to deal with?
