Just recently found my instrument cluster in my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport dead, fuses ok, all guages dead except for fuel guage. Any ideas on how to fix? Lights behind work ok.

 

Hello- Welcome to FTE! I have moved your post to the specialized forum we have here for your question. Check out the list of tech forums we have on FTE. There is a wealth of information and expertise here to help you. There are a number of links in my sig below to help you also. Have fun!

 

You can do the basic take it apart, unplug and wiggle stuff around, and then put it back together.

I am trying to research this a little bit, and I have to get the diagram for your specific year, but what I am finding so far is there is no sensor on the engine for temperature for the cluster. There is a sensor going to the cluster for oil pressure. What this is telling me(not sure yet) is the cluster gets some of it's info from the engine computer through the communications network. This would be temp, speed, rpm, and possibly some others.

I haven't quite figured it out yet, but if your problem is serious, you may need to take it to a dealer who has a scanner and can talk to the cluster on the comm network.

 

Come to find out my son put the fuse back in the wrong slot when trying to find another problem. Sorry guys.
