gauge and wiper issues.

Another one followed me home. New to me 97 f-250 supercab 4x4. Charging indicator won't come up to show full charging and fuel gauge only goes half way. Left side of the panel works fine.
Wiper switch also has issues. It goes intermittent when on low speed.
Haven't pulled the panel yet.

Sounds like a ground, or broken harness issue. Have you verified voltage at alternator and battery? That may help determine a plan of action.
