I DON;T HAVE A SOLUTION, BUT THE PROBLEM SOUNDS FAMILIAR. MY TEMP GAUGE NEEDLE HAS BEEN BURIED WAY TO THE RIGHT OF HOT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE IS OCCASIONALLY DOING THE SAME THING. THAT IS HOW THE PROBLEM WITH THE TEMP GAUGE BEGAN--WITH INTERMITTENT MISREADINGS THAT EVENTUALLY BECAME PERMANENT.
I TALKED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEIR SOLUTION WOULD INVOLVE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE ODOMETER AND THE PAPERWORK OF MILEAGE VERIFICATION. THEY SAID IT WOULD TOTAL AROUND $800. THAT SEEMS PRETTY PRICEY FOR REPLACEMENT OF TWO SMALL GAUGES.
UNLESS FORD HAS BOUGHT A LOT OF CRAPPY GAUGES (NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY, I KNOW), I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE ISN'T SOME SORT OF WIRING SHORT CAUSING THIS.

2005 GT here with same problems, first the temp gauge would get stuck all the way in red zone most notably would happen in cold weather.......drive for a while (sometimes it would stay stuck for hours) stop and start the car a few times and it would drop back to normal. Now the oil gauge is pinned all the way in high zone. F'ed up man
