I have loss of all dashboard gages....no wipers, turn signals, fuel gage, speedometer, radio, air blower and Windows. Sometimes everything will work fine, then later on nothing will work again. The mechanic checked all wires and fuses. Everything was fine. He installed a new ignition switch, but I am still having the problem. A friend hooked it up to a computer mechanism and it said there was a problem with the fuel level sensor A circuit. Would this be an issue that would cause such a problem? If so, is this an easy fix?
