The dash gauges and the tow mode in the lever are all connected.
Have any problems with either of these,It is a known Ford problem with the "wiring inside the steering wheel".
For me it was the tow mode light coming on and dropping the trans while driving. Ford said I had a 50/50 chance it was the known loose wires in the steering wheel causing the tow mode to drop or the torque converter itself.
In my case I lost the bet it was the torque converter but that's how I learned about the problem with the wires in the steering wheel being connected to all things about the dash gauges.
AND, after they installed the new torque converter keeping in mind that the tow mode is part of the dash assembly......I had lights and gauges on the dash that had never been there before and in different colors! :B
Go figure. If you still have problems with your dash gauges ford will go right to taking the steering wheel off and check the wires. I think it was a call back and they do it for free.
