All gauges(oil, temp, charge, fuel, speedometer, trip and tach quit working intermittently, the dash lights are not affected. In the beginning the fuel guage would work intermittently and also not read correctly, the faster you drove the more fuel it showed. Changed the fuel send/pump, changed PCM, changed GEM. This last time the gauges quit working for a week. Fuel gauge still does not read accurately.
You can hear a click if the gauges start working while driving. I have the Ford Manuals and can not find any mention of a relay or switch. The Ford dealer has no clue either. I was told that this was a common problem on the Crown Victoria Police cars at and around my year vehicle and that it was a bad relay (which I can not locate).
