temp guage jumping from cold to hot then back to the middle. fluid lights come on and off.
hello I have a 2001 ford expedition my temp guage ( the one with the 'H' and 'C' on it) was going from the 'C' to the 'H' and then the middle for some reason and the oil and I guess transmission fluid light comes on and off while driving but then regulates itself I guess. when I stopped at a red light the truck shut off. it cranked right back up and I stopped at the next Ford dealership. he told me that everything was fine and that some sort of temp cap was missing and causing it to short. I can't quite remember exactly what he said because I was in such a panic thinking my truck was running hot. after he told me that and touched something under the hood I left and didn't have anymore problems on that trip. the fluid lights are still on for a while when I crank up and drive. can anyone help me and tell me what is the issue?
