parking brake and tmps dash lights on

[argetsad]

Anyone found a fix for this? Having the same issue with a 2011 focus and this seems to be the most information I can find anywhere. Although just smacking the dash makes everything go away and that's even more puzzling as I've checked all the grounds and connectors.

I have very much a similar problem on my 2011 Ford Escape. The dealership wanted to replace the instrument cluster and re-program it for $1000. I declined. All of my gauges still work and if I bang on the dash above the cluster, it resets. I did find this video on YouTube but haven't followed up on it.

I live in the Houston, Texas area. I was referred by a service rep at a different Ford dealership to a place in downtown Houston called Austin Radio and Speedometer. They found loose connections (solder joints) on both sides of my Escape’s instrument cluster and repaired it for $150. This was probably six months ago. I have had no issues since. When I went back to the rep who referred me, he told me that when it comes to things like that, dealerships can only replace and not repair. Hope this helps.

Has anyone found a fix for this issue. I am seeing the same issues with my Ford Escape 2011. Other issues include:
A/C compressor turns off when TPMS light comes on
Automatic door locks don't work when TPMS light comes on or is blinking
Banging dashboard sometimes fixes this. Sometimes my car won't start, but banging dashboard will fix this sometimes.
