I feel like we are looking at the circuits that are burned now instead of the whole thing being wet. We know you had a faulty gem and I am still leaning that way.

I have an idea. Unhook your battery for about an hour, to kill the keep alive memory. Hook it back up and all of the gauges should sweep max and back down. Let me know what happens.

No gauge sweep when I turn the key
If I can't figure this out soon I might have to drop it off at ford.

That means that your gauges arent getting appropriate voltage. All signs pointing toward gem.

If it is something else then I am at a loss. Its damn near impossible to have all of your gauges go dead at the same damn time.

If I leave the key on long enough in acc position the gauges will start working, that's when the theft light blinks.

You definitely have a power problem. I would buy the gem toss it in and turn the key. I bet your gauges will go back to normal.

Ok. I think I'm going to tow it to the ford dealership and have them flash one and put it in. Saves me time. Thank you again jprevat. You being on the forum helping me has been so valuable I can't explain.
