It almost has to be a ground problem in the gauge cluster. For all the gauges to go down at once, you'd either have to lose power to every gauge, or you'd have to lose ground. Since each gauge gets its own independent signal, the likelihood of it being the power side of each gauge is very very small. They probably all get one ground though, and if it's intermittent, all the gauges would drop out when the connection to ground goes away. If I were a betting man, I'd bet it's in the connection between the gauge wiring harness and the gauge cluster

I end up editing all my posts for the same reason I work on my cars all the time. I never get it right the first time.

Oh, and Tudor is an old Ford name for a Two-Door. My 87 Crown Vic is the last full-size "Tudor" Ford made. For clarification, I have no relation to any British royal family...
