 Dodge caravan will not start seems to have no power to the dash cluster but if you turn on the lights they light up in it. Van cranks over fine but gas gauge doesnt work and there is no odometer and such

First thing you should do is make sure that the battery is fully charged and tests good. Make sure your battery connections are clean and tight.

If that checks good, you'll need to have it towed to a shop and an enhanced scan tool put on it to see if all the computer modules in the vehicle are alive, communicating on the data bus, and/or storing any trouble codes.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
