Check Gage light lit solid with tow haul flashing... Wtf

This is when the gas Gage dropped and the battery light lit

 

Just the battery light lit on the second drive

 

This is when the trans didn't up shift and the check Gage light lit and the tow haul flashed.

 

I can't find a local mechanic that does seem like he is just guessing. And all the ford dealerships that I have brought it to say that it's the instrument cluster failing.

 

well I would replace the cluster then.

 

But what's the deal with the trans. I just feel that when the cluster goes back and there isn't anything failing and the the. The transmission doesn't shift it can't be the cluster causing the transmission issues. I feel it must be failing sensors or maybe and electrical issue some where in the mix.

So I am taking my truck to a new dealership to have them run a free diagnostics

 

Ok all who care or participated in this thread.

My truck was was taken to a third ford dealer where after telling them what I read on various forums that these lights indicated my transmission temp sensor had failed. They informed me that forums do not give proper information and that this was not the problem. However, they were incorrect. Thanx to all who helped me! This 30 dollar part has solved my issue and my truck is back on the road. I also learned that ford service in my area is astronomically pried at 112 per hour for service.

128 dollars in parts trans fluid etc. + 336 for labor (3 hours for what should have taken 30 - 45 min) = a fixed truck

I will in the future be doing my own labor. F that noise.

Again thanx all.

 

glad you got the problem solved bro

 

^ me too

 

Glad you got it sorted out and most auto shops are $100-$120/hr these days...
