2000 Expedition Instrument panel problems.
So for a while I've been having to lift up hard on the gear shifter to make her start. I got a new tire on it, and the greasemonkey there said he shook the hell out of the wheel to get it to start.
Now I have to wait ten minutes after Turning her off or the pats will shut her off. When it does start after three minutes the tach, speedometer, battery gauge, and temperature gauge die.Its also shifting really nasty with the trailer on it, and chugging uphill where it didn't two days ago.
Im pretty sure its a loose wire that's gone to a short, and its backfeeding crappy information to the computer.. i just need some direction.
Its my work truck. I need her. Please help.

Depends on how the kill circuit is tied in. If it's meant to kill the ignition circuit then it could be malfunctioning, which would explain the loss of the gauges. It could also be a bad splice where they tapped into the circuit.

I hear you, but without that information we're all just guessing here.

The pats is throwing a 16 code. What I've been able to research up is that a 16 can mean instrument cluster problem. Also. The low range indicator comes on the panel after about half an hour of driving. The pats will let me start once. Then it'll let me start, but immediately cut off, then it just cranks without starting.
Im about to just take out the cluster. Replace. And search for any grounding problems.
