How do you find out why the gages do not work in a 1993 ford ranger xlt
3.0. All the lights work. Also why some times the head lights go off and off but not all the time. Thank you for your help- posted

This is going to sound funny, but have the fuse box checked for shorts. Mine was just recently replaced because of this same problem. Took the dealer 5 days to figure out what was wrong. I have an 03 Excursion.

how do you check a fues box for a short ________________________________________
Turn off all electrical items.
Disconnect the POSITIVE battery cable.
Remove all the fuses (record their locations).
With an ohmmeter, measure the resistance from every terminal in the fuse box to a good chassis ground.
Very high resistance = no short. Very low resistance = possible short. Zero resistance = short.
Good luck.
