The oil pressure gauge reads zero, the battery gauge reads zero, fuel gauge reads empty, and temperature gauge reads zero. Also, now my windows won’t go up or down and the lock system won’t work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have to start by saying, the instrument clusters in these trucks are known to fail and need to be repaired or replaced. However, let's first check if we have a power issue.

If you look below, I attached a pic of the power supply to the instrument cluster. The fuses are in the fuse box under the hood. When you check them, it is also important to make sure they have power.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Do this and let me know the results. Also, let me know if this happened all at once.

Take care,

Joe
