You must have a short. Get a test light and start on the wires for your gauges.

I don't see why not. If it does it everytime let them fix it!

and a short could potentially screw up your battery and other things, so if you have a chance to have it fixed free do it

I have used the odometer diagnostics trick before also,,,, My gauges only do the full sweep after that, I don't know why they would do it every time, but if it isn't hurting anything, I'd leave it alone.
you can't do the odo diagnostic trick with 02 GT's can you? ive tried it and it doesn't work.

If you have a digital odometer, you can. That's the general rule (because it displays information through the odometer). Works on the 01 Expedition we have here (5.4!), but not the 99 excursion (V10!) because it doesn't have a digital odometer.
