Is there a inline fuse for dash gauges and where is it

Fuses can be bad, even though they look good, and connections may be corroded so there is not a good connection for the light. Double check to ensure bright metal contacts.

The main connected behind the dash board has come loose,

Check the fuses under the dash board. If there fine, sometimes Ford has a secondary type of fuse box located next to fuse box itself under the dash board called an Indicator Warning System Control. (small little box right next to it, sometimes white). If it's loose it could cause instrument cluster to malfuncation. push on it make sure it's secure.

GAUGES NOT WORKING

If all voltages checked ok, then most probably its faulty instrument cluster board on which gauges are connected. Yes if cluster circuit board looks ok, then also it can be faulty. Somewhere there is minute short or burn on board then such problem arises.

Also check the fuse box. One under hood and other under dash.

Inspect each and every fuse and see if all are fine or not.

Thanks.

somtime the fuse panel is on the driver side kick board under the dash. There is also a fuse box under the hood usually covered with a plastic cover. easily removed

Hi, Most fuse pannel are on left side lower dash board. If not then under the hood near the battery. A black box on side pannel,also check relay switch. Good luck.

Check on the cluster connectors the connecting lines to the dash board. Possible that there is a break in the line, a crack in the dash board PCB or a possible ground connection faulty.
It is important to have the voltages checked one by one to confirm using a multimeter.

OK, check the fuse box to see if the fuses that are designated for these instruments are still in working order. if the fuses are ok, remove the instrument cluster from the dash and, check the back side of the cluster board. pull all connecting plugs to check the metal contacts on the cluster board. try to straighten the plugs and re attached the wiring harness, this should revive the gauges.

if this dose ot produce results, replace th entire cluster.

Check the fuse in the fuse box, if that's ok check the wire harness that connects to the back of the instrument panel. Good luck and hope this helps.

check cluster fuses in the fuse box engine bay on the passenger side front under bonnett, if there all ok removed the cluster make sure a plug conector hasnt come off, if thats all ok, u may have to check power and earth supply to cluster if thats all o.k the cluster mother board has failed, may require a new cluster unti.
