A few weeks ago some of my gauges stopped working. The fuel gauge (very important), the temp gauge, and the pressure gauge. Every once in a while they'll work for a day or less, then back to null.
Also, how do I change the combination on the outside of the drivers side door?
Thanks Steve

Sounds like a loose/corroded connector behind the instrument panel. Clean the connector and it will probably be OK. Also check for loose ground connections.

Better check all the fuses first for the gauges.........

The only thing all 3 gauges have in common is that they're fed by the instrument voltage regulator on the back of the cluster. It's about the size of a 9-volt battery, and clips onto the plastic circuit board (very tightly). I think you can still buy them from Ford, or you can snag one from the wrecker, or go solid-state:
