Problem overview

Some Ford Explorer Sport Trac owners report experiencing issues with their gauges and windows, including intermittent gauge failure that may indicate underlying electrical problems with the instrument cluster. Additionally, some owners find that their power windows do not operate, potentially due to a malfunctioning Window Lock switch on the driver's door master window control. Intermittent power failures affecting the gauges or odometer display can also contribute to these issues. Furthermore, problems with power windows, gas gauge, radio, and interior lights may stem from faulty fuses or relays. Wiring issues, particularly in the driver's door hinge area, have also been noted as a cause of window malfunctions. To effectively address these concerns, owners are advised to check the Window Lock switch, inspect wiring for damage, and examine relevant fuses and relays. If gauge problems persist, a professional inspection of the instrument cluster may be necessary.
