Dash lights not working. Fuse is ok. Radio and all other accessories are still working. All other lights including the shift indicator in the console are still working. Are these lights one unit that would put the entire panel out if bad or does it sound like I have a short somewhere?

SOURCE: DASH AND TAIL LIGHS DONT WORK

Check and see if you have trailer wiring on your truck. If so you do it may have a wire that is rubbed though the isulation and grounding on the body and shorting the circuit blowing the fuse. High resistance in a circuit is what blows fuses.

SOURCE: 1997 dodge avenger turn signal probs and location

replace the turn signal switch it self, mine did the same thing with the left turn signal, put in fuse and it will continue to flash... went to junk yard pulled one out of a 97 avenger just like mine, swapped them out and now it works fine. looked to be like some corrosion... to repace: 3 screws under columb, 2 screws on side of signal switch (black plastic side). unplug and replace

Dash lights are complicated as power is supplied by a ribbon cable that also does other features. Check the Light Dimmer wheel first as that is the main reason for having no dash lights..

A picture (image) of a spanner appears in the dash board of my ford escape 2011 model. The engine slows down by itself. Once I put off the ignition and restart under one minute, it comes back to life....

I have a 2012 Escape 4cyl AWD. Check your owners manual. The wrench light on the lower left of the dash panel indicates a problem with the Electronic throttle system. Mine turns on especially when it is cold and after it has been idling for awhile. The car goes into some sort of default mode. It runs, but not very well. High revs and weird transmission shifts. I had a similar problem with a 2011 Dodge Avenger and it was the throttle body. If I shut it off, I can immediately restart, and the light is off, and it runs fine. This has been going on for over 7 months. I plan to change the throttle body...someday. I already bought one:

Update 1/3/2019 - changed out the throttle body 2.5 years ago. That fixed it, and it never came back/

My car shutters when I drive over snow It drives straight on the highway whith no vibraton

The vibration is from your AWD vehicle rear/center/front diff locking because it detects wheelspin. It is shifting power to the wheel with grip and feels weird. Slowing down will reduce this feeling, but if you are not getting a warning light, that is my diagnosis. Once back on solid ground the automatic AWD unlocks and the car/SUV returns to normal operation.
