1998 Ford Escort dashboard warning lights and gauges not working.

Check the fuse panel under the dash and the power distribution panel under the hood for any blown out fuses.

Look under the hood at the battery and trace the ground wire(s)...there should be 1 large one and 1 smaller one ..the smaller one is usually for the body ground connection and will become defective some times...this problem exhibits a bad ground connection from the battery and is very common...if you don't have a smaller wire then follow the mauin ground lead to where it connects and check it for corrosion...maybe unbolt and clean the area, then re-attach

how do i change my dashboard light on 1997 ford escort se

My 04 Ford Focus the battery light keeps coming on & going off, have fitted a new alternator belt but it didn't solve the problem. The battery connections are good. Also the rev counter, speedo & mileage clock keep going haywire when the battery light is on. Do you think it is the alternator? Or is it some other common problem?

speedo drive sensor on transmission failing or loose or dirty connections

this may be a bad connection behind the clocks ,, because the main ecu runs the rev counters ., or the new rev counter may be faulty
