The wife just called to say that she's lost all the gauges on the truck. No speedo, tach, or fuel gauge. She didn't mention the coolant temp or oil pressure or voltmeter gauges ( I wonder if she's ever even noticed them ;) ) but I'm guessing they weren't working either. She also says that the odometer is flashing and that the ABS, Low Fuel, and the check engine lights are on.

As bizzare a scenario as this sounds I've been searching through the archives and found a few other folks describing the same thing. With only one exception, the trucks seemed to spontaneonsly heal themselves! So here's my question, ..... will the check engine light go out by itself and would I be foolish to ignore this?
 
Dash went nuts!!!

As you can see from my signature we have almost identical trucks.

Mine did what yours is doing about 60k miles ago.

It was the crankshaft rotation counter. Replaced mine under warranty. Truck ran fine but you can not see what is going on.
 
It's been a couple of days and the truck seems completely normal. I'm still not sure if I should start replacing things. For now I'm going to take a wait and see attitude. I'm glad I dont have any long trips planned for the next couple of weeks! But if it does it again I'll try that Crank sensor. Thanks for the advice.

a lot of folks tap the #17 fuse when installing gauges. this is the cluster fuse. often when you open the panel to check it it bumps the wire and fixes the problem.



happened to me;):D
