Intermittent electrical issue?
Hi all:
i have a 2006 F350, 6.0 diesel, automatic. It has power windows and locks.
The dash gauges will quit working fairly often. At the same time, the power windows will quit as well. If I hit just the right bump, just the right way, everything starts working again just fine.
All other power items items work just fine, headlights, marker lights etc.
Obviously there's what I believe to be a loose wire or connection somewhere. Not sure where to start looking.
Any suggestions would be welcome and thanks

I'd start with the grounds. Open the hood, start by the driver's mirror and work your way around the engine looking and checking all of the easy to see grounds. Make sure they're all tight and clean. Hopefully you'll find a loose or broken one and that will solve your problem.

I'm not sure about the windows but quite a few of the 7.3L guys have experienced the dash problem. For us it's a problem with the dash cluster. There are some places that will fix your dash and save you $$$ compared to a new cluster (eBay I think).

Not sure if this applies to the 6.0, but on the 7.3 there is plug that runs down from the dash and it one just worked on last week, it had come loose. Losing the power windows and dash gauges is a common symptom when that happens on the 7.3.
