[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1041528, member: 74754"] Mine has been at the Ford Dealership since Monday. I was so completely frustrated; I'm surrendering to the Ford Techs, hoping their expensive diagnostic systems and training can nail it down. In my case, I think it's the PCM. When I clear all my fault codes and run the truck, I get no ZERO fault codes. Everything drives and operates normally. After shutting the truck down, it goes into haunted mode. First, it beeps, then the odometer on, Then the gauges flutter, then the radio comes on and goes off. The message center displays the message "Check Gauges" because they're all flatlined. The PCM is saying, look at your gauges; sometimes the low fuel message comes on. After this little haunted routine, If I run a new check, it shows fault codes for almost every sensor in the truck. So, I think the PCM is being energized and then running through its diagnostic routine or attempting to when no other sensors are energized. So it's coming back with all these faults. But I'm not sure. [/QUOTE]
