Check gauges problem?
I have a 2005 or 2004 Ford sports trac truck. A couple of days ago the check gauges signal came on. I looked under the hood and saw that there was no water, so I filled it up. Still the check gauges signal comes on. Today I was sitting in the truck while it was parked and had the ac running. I turned off the ac and the car about 30min Later. Then when I started the car again it sounded like it wanted to turn off and it kept shaking. I had to press the gas pedal just so it wouldn't turn off. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Do an OBD2 code check. Guessing is silly when you can get a real answer from the car's own computer.
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- Entire car loses power when we floor the gas. Gauges reset until we let off gas. (still drives) 02 ford mustang. The car loses power to everything. (Except what's needed for the vehichle to stay running.) Can still drive it. What are possible problems? (AC does not affect anything )
- How do you open the instrument cluster in a 2003 ford focus SE to access the mechanisms for the gauges? Needle is stuck. Did a test on the gauges and it was sticking trying to climb so I highly doubt it's a sensor. Just want to open it up to gain access to the mechanism so I can see if it's dirty or not. Add a bit of sewing machine oil so it moves more freely.
- 2003 Ford Focus Gauges Won't Work? I have a 2003 Ford Focus. I've had the problem of my drivers door dinging whenever the door is open, even if the keys are out and the lights are off. Now my car gauges won't work. They started whacking out but now they don't really work at all. All of my lights and that work in the dashboard and I have no other problems but my temperature, gas, and speedometer gauges won't work. We checked he fuse and it's ok. What's wrong?
