Analog Battery Gauge Located On Instrument Panel.Remove the analog cluster and check out its connection at the back.Wiggle the connectors a bit.Check out for any bad wire or cable connections.If any of the wire burnt out or loose cable then its the problem and the wire or cable has to be replaced.Also if the cluster connector wires are shorting the other wires in the dash then that can drain the battery.Get the connectors checked.
To remove instrument panel:---
1)Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove 2 cover panels and screws holding instrument cluster. Lift out instrument
cluster. Remove connector seal. Disconnect connectors and remove instrument cluster.And at the back you will see the connectors and wires passing from connectors.Check the wires and connectors.

instrument cluster went out while driving my 2004 ford excursion. Continued to my destination...all accessories worked properly except the instrument panel. Vehicle was parked for approx 3 hours, after arriving at my destination.
Upon my leaving, the vehicle would not start, acted as if battery dead. Turned over 1x very slowly, then clicked several times. Dead.
The previous "expert" sent me to a ehow page...which did not answer my question.
I'm hoping that someone has dealt with this kind of scenario, and can advise me as to what would cause the panel to go out plus cause the battery to go dead...at the same time.
Thank you for your assistance
Eddie
