The tach & odomoter are electronic and work intermittently. The fuel gauge is inaccurate and functions slowly. Fuel pump was replaced. After replacement the underhood number 5 20-amp fuse for the PCM. ASD blows intermittently; especially while making a hard left turn.

Hello and thanks for donating

It seems as though there is a short somewhere in the gauge cluster, seeing as how you keep having intermittent failures there. This short is most likely the cause of the fuse popping as well. Since you say when turning hard left it seems to cause the short to appear more frequently, I would be looking into the wiring that is found in the steering column area, underneath the top and bottom steering column covers.
