Hi Gay`s.
My cluster went black. (not odometer but the backlight)
Have read the reply from JollyGiant in the thread: https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/how-do-i-fix-instrument-cluster-light.524511/

quote:"The EL gauge face in a Lightning is activated, or "driven", by an inverter circuit that boosts the truck's 12 volt system up to approximately 120 volts. The circuit also takes the DC signal and pulses it to approximately 400 hz. Most of these types of circuits are protected by a fuse and, fortunately for us, so is this one." "Next to this attachment point is a green component that should have "LF 1/4 amp " printed on it. This is a 1/4 amp Littelfuse"

My fuse is not defective and i have 12 V to this ballast/ inverter, so the question is: Does anyone know where I can get a new ballast/ inverter?
Or is there anyone who has other ideas on what's wrong?
A couple of pictures so you know where it is and what number it has ;)

Speedhut would not help me :(
Does anyone have an address to Ford in the United States where I can order new inverter or new cluster?

A-INVERT-05 from speedhut should work and follow the thread on here on how to replace it . I doubt they will have any idea what your doing with it .
