sound like faulty alternator voltage regulator. check alternator out put at battery with engine idling should be 13.5 - 14.5 volts at 2000 rpm if not lower you have faulty voltage regulator.also check alternator drive belt and check alternator for loose wires.besure turn off radio before disconnecting negative battery cable to keep from locking out radio losing code.
im not certain, but i believe that the gauges are electronic. and when you were working on the radio you may have accidentally touched the wrong wires together shorting out the console. i would check the fuse cor the console.
have a 2004 ford f150 with a 5.4L. While the truck would sit and idle my temp gauge would go to zero and the check gauge and check engine light would come on. Ran the codes and got P1289. Cleared the codes and truck would do fine for a few days and then it would happen again while sitting and idling. I replaced the CHT sensor and cranked the truck. The check gauge light can on and got the P1289 code. Replaced the CHT again(thinking the new one was bad) and cleared the codes. Cranked the truck again and it did the same thing. Cleared the codes and the check gauge light and check engine light would come back on with the motor running. When the motor is warmed up, I turned on the key on without cranking the motor, the temp gauge works, when the motor is cranked and running, the temp gauge goes to zero and the the ckeck gauge light on back on and gives the P1289 code. Does any one have any ideas on what to do
batterys can look great on a guage and have no juice try getting a boost and also check the master and assessory fuses under the hood in the fuse pannel
sounds like you blew a master fuse
You could try changing the fuse for all of the gauges but if that doesn't work you could try reseting the trucks computer. Disconnect the battery and turning the light switch to the on position and leaving in for about a half hour. Hope this helps.
Dear dsmalley427,
I think it sounds like a fuel injection problem. You get fuel for a while until the injector backs up and then all of a sudden NO FUEL. The engine quits and the pressure drops and flow returns enough for you to restart. If I were you I would get to a good mechanic and check the fuel injectors.
OR--try adding a fuel additive that would clean the injectors.--Signed jwr
