has anyone ever heard of the dome light and odometer constanly going on and off or the dome light will just stay on and not turn off at all? but the odometer constantly flashes on and off everytime that i drive my stang and my passenger side foglight keeps going out and i know its not the bulb because i actually changed the buld 3 times with three different styles and type of bulbs. all input is greatly accepted and thank guys.

its prob a loose ground somewhere, but it might take some time to find it, check around by the door switch for the dome light and then just keep looking around and try to tighten whatever you can. My jeep had a problem of the hole dash not working and then work, it turned out to be a loose ground behind the speedometer. Good luck

Yeah, my odometer always shuts off, but it still records the mileage...the display just goes out. It happened when I was at the DMV getting inspected and the guy was banging on the dash and it finally came on lol.

Lol I just tap on the plastic cover for the gauge cluster and it usually comes back on. When it gets warmer I may try and fix it..although I've never soldered anything/don't have anything to solder with.
