With the guage cluster that includes a tachometer there is a check gage light , that is located just above the tachometer at the 3,000 RPM mark . The check gage light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is high , the engine oil pressure is low , or the vehicle is almost out of gas . There is also a fuel reset light to the left of the gas gauge

Is it low on Gas or Deisel? if it is that will trip the check gauge light. Or if you ever run the fuel low. It needs time to reset it self.
The Ranger fuel gauge could have several problems causing it not to work. These problems include, blown fuse, bad wiring, loose connections, or a bad fuel sending unit in the fuel tank.
