Instrument Panel- D E A D !! on my 95' - Ford Ranger Forum

saggrock · 06-08-2009, 08:56 PM

The instrument panel on my 95' Ranger has gone dead!!! No speedomiter, no fuel guage, no temperature, no odomiter, no trip guage, nothing!!!

I have checked all the fuses and the relays on the power distribution box under the hood, all are good.

The owners manual says that there is another cluster of relays that is supposedly behind the instrument panel, I tried getting back there, but since I am only 1/4 mechanicly inclined, I stopped there for fear of not being able to put it back together.

Has anyone else had this problem ? If so, how did you fix it ? Or does anyone know how to fix this. It's gotten real old guessing how fast you are going, and trying to remember when was the last time you put gas and how far you have driven since then.

Thanks in advance,

Saggrock

I assume you pulled the cover off of the fuse panel on the d/s of the dash?

If you mean the panel that is on the left side of the dashboard, yes, I check them all and they are all good.
