Vin missing on xt600

thee is a vin number on the firewall
copy that and ring ford customer service and ask them stating the vin number

check the bulbs at the back. I`ve had a few cars over the years where I found the customer has had all the taillight bulbs burnt out. also check for power and ground at the sockets with a test light. if there is one missing then you will have to check the wires from the socket back to the front of the car. there are connectors along the way to check for a problem with wires.

There is typically a diagram under hood. However, if the diagram is missing it can also be found at most parts stores. Just ask a sales rep or manager and they should be able to get it from there computer. If those don't help you will need to get it from dealer with VIN info.

Then it does not apply, recalls go by vin number on all makes and models, just because there is a recall that doesn't mean your particular car's VIN has the problem. Contact the dealer for a read out of all Recalls or call GM customer service with your make model and VIN code..

If you are trying to trace a vin number for any reason and the system says unknown vin number I would suspect a bodgie vin number to cover a cut and shut smash repair or the sale of a stolen vehicle. Check with the makers customer service or the makers technical support engineers and see what they have to say.

There is a good chance that your instrument cluster has gone bad. There was a TSB for this issue and that the Dealer was going to replace the instrument cluster without any cost.
