Jumping Gauges

When I start My 2010 F150 all of the gauges will go from 0 to 120 then back to 0, or Empty to Full then to where it should be. On My 02 it was a sign of a bad ground on the battery. What would cause this on a '10 . Thanks Scott

Some people like sweeping gauges at start up. But I don't think it is an option with F150 clusters. I know 2011 and later you can put the cluster into test mode and get them to sweep but unfortunately I am of no help. Did it not do it before and then all of a sudden start doing it? If so, what were you doing vehicle wise before it started?

I had a 2010 and it would do that, the truck does a self test every time you start it.

Years ago, my 2004 F150 did that for a few weeks and then suddenly stopped and never did it again. I never found out what caused it to do this.
