So I noticed this the other day that my odometer would randomly black out... Then sometime later be back on... Well coming home from a class today, it was out when I left my clients house... I hit one hella pothole on the highway (thanks big rig for not letting me over) and it came back on. I don't usually drive much after dark so I never noticed till today that the dash lights go out too when the odo is out, but they came back on too when I hit that pothole. Clues on where I'd be able to find that connection to start checking things out? Link to a diagram/schematic maybe? 1999 XLT

There are some real good writeup's in this forum as well. Just search for odometer and you will find them.
