Had A Truck Equiptment Shop Hooking My Beacon To The Factory Uplifter Swithces. After They Hooked Them Up We Lost The Dash Wipers And Heater Will Only Work On High And Trans Won't Shift Out Of 3rd Gear.
Took It To The Dealer And They Say It Needs A New Guage Cluster. What Do You Guys Think. Anybody Ever Heard Of This.
The Equiptment Shop Is Good And 1 Year Ago They Installed A Set Of Back Up Lights On It. It Seemed Very Simple. Been At The Dealership For 1 Week. Guage Clusters Are Hard To Come By So They Say. Any Info Will Be Appreciated.
Have you checked all the fuses including the ones under the hood? I blew one once on my 05 and some of the same problems you described happened as Ford has multiple systems that run on single fuses.

Sounds like to me it is the Truck Equipment Shop's problem, not yours! They obviously blew a fuse or accidentially disconnected something. But they break it, they fix it. If they can't fix it, they pay Ford to fix it. Warranty wont cover it when a mod is the cause of system failure.
Why would hooking up a beacon to a wire that is in the engine compartment mess with the gauge pod? Did they over load the relay to the upfitter switch behind the glove box? If all the shop did was conect beacon to one of the 4 wires in the engine compartment I would say it is Fords problem.
As I found out earlier today be sure to check every fuse in the truck. They are not always labeled for everything that runs of of them, or even correctly sometimes. I lost my radio, power windows, and vanity mirror power, and it turned out to be the fuse for the instrument panel. Funny thing is the instrument panel worked fine.
