All gauges quit on cluster! Not charging!

Asked by Guru8NMPH Jan 03, 2020 at 11:48 AM about the 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT Crew Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an early 2004 f250 6.0l. I've replaced shift lever,
alternator, 2 batteries in the last week. Fuses are good
under dash. Not charging, batteries are good and alternator
tested good on and off the truck. I've read alot about the 'I'
circuit on the back of the cluster. I've tried beating the dash
with no response. Alot of people say the cluster is bad and
some say the fuse box under the dash. Any help would be
appreciated. All the fuses have power to them. Not sure
how to check power to the cluster panel. Thanks Chris

04 ford super duty trucks have a problem blowing fuse 45, overdrive wire shorts to the column, it will disable charging. If the fuse is blown, fix the wiring and replace the fuse. another problem, the cable from battery to generator, corrosion/resistance, may need to do voltage drop test on that cable. I saw several trouble codes listed for your charging system, any codes? Another common issue, rebuilders have a tough time rebuilding ford generators, correctly.
