06 ford escape gauges/batery issues?

I left my interior light on last night.
When starting the vehicle today, it fired up then stalled. I went to start it again, it wouldn't turn over. 3rd time and ever time after that it starts no problem.

I let it run for 20 minutes to a half hour took it for a drive, it ran as it should.

But half way through a ten minute drive all the gauges stopped working but the seatbelt warning sign flashes even though my seat belt is buckled.

Any ideas?

  • 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?
  • Car steaming, high gauges? My car is a 2005 ford explorer, and last week I let my boyfriend drive it and he was trying to spin out in it and drive fast and the gauges got high and when I parked the car I realized the engine was steaming. I haven't driven it lately because I got a new car since the back end on it was going out. But I might have to drive it tomorrow, would it be safe to?
