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

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.

Rodan.
