Hi,

My speedometer, RPM, battery gauge, and oil gauge is going haywire. I will sometimes over shoot and stay at Max. As of right now, none of the needles is even moving. The odometer, fuel, and temperature gauge is working fine. Can anyone please guide me into start finding out the source of this problem? Thank you very much!

This will require a trip to Ford for a scan of B and U codes.
Good shops may also be able to do this, but if a PCM reflash is needed, Ford is the place to go. You can try taking the dash out, pull the electrical connectors, and check the pins on the board, and the connectors for pushed out contacts, also check grounds at the kick panels on both sides. Check all fuses, in car and under the hood.
