What gauges are not working? Have you checked to see if there is power to the 4wd actuator on the transfer case?

Let me know.

Fuel,temp gage,battery,tach,4x4 don't work. All of these quit working at the same time. I have changed all gages, checked all the grounds in the engine compartment,changed the GEM. I looked for the grounds under the dash but can't find them. I don't know where to go from here.The 4x4 light on the dash won't light up, and I changed the motor on the transfer case last year. I also checked the fuses. Thanks for your response.

The only thing that I can say is to check the body control module. IT sounds like you replaced everything else.

I have a 94 f150 4.9 4speed od and was having electrical problems with it and took apart the conection block on the fire wall in witch ford are notorius for having corrosion problems there cleaned and put elect grease on the female side of the block and never had a problem again.Also make sure you have power (12 volts) at both sides of the fuse(if it lights a test light the fuse is good don't just look at the fuse you might not see the break) good luck
