Ford F-250 Won't Work On Hot Days

Q. My 2002 Ford F-250 diesel has an electrical problem. When setting in the sun and the cab gets hot and you turn the key to start you do not have any interior lights, radio, power windows, tachometer, odometer and all other gauges. If I pull the fuse and then plug it back in everything will work. What is the problem? I would be most grateful for your help.

Thanks,
Odell

A. It would have been nice to know which fuse got all these different systems working. Based on the effected systems, I would have to guess there is a problem with either the instrument cluster or the Central Junction box. Most likely a bad or corroded connection.
