Truck goes crazy when key is out of the ignition, Instrument cluster goes on and off, beeps, ...but I don't think it's the actual instrument cluster.

[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1041836, member: 74754"] I really appreciate the response and offer. But, unfortunately, we're around 800 miles apart. I'm in central Georgia. That's a great idea about testing it with a good cluster. I might try to find one locally to be sure. But I'm pretty sure at this point that it's something in the cluster that is the problem. I actually reached out to a guy who fixes circuit boards and instrument clusters yesterday. His name is Jeff, and he has a YouTube channel [URL]https://www.youtube.com/user/jeffescortlx/videos[/URL]. He seems to be very competent at what he does. He has some ideas about what might be going on but is booked for 2 weeks. I'm going to the beach in a couple of weeks, so maybe it'll work out. Whatever I find out, I'll finish off this thread for "posterity," maybe it will help someone down the road in some way. I hate it when I come across dead-end threads with no resolution. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for the offer. I really appreciate it. PS: If I were a young man who wanted to go into automotive repair, I'd go into electronics and programming. I think that's the future of cars. It's amazing how hard it is to find someone who is really competent in that area. Compared to the cars and trucks today, the '04 ST is simple. [/QUOTE]
