all you have to do is take your battery terminals off for a little while and it will reset

It sounds like the Body Control Module (BCM) took a dump. They're about $50.00 at a junk yard, $500.00 for a rebuilt one from a dealer. It's located behind the fuse panel under the dashboard.
 
If you get a used one, make certain that the part numbers match.
 
Good luck!

94 Voyager gas guage by t0mmyd
Sep 14, 2008 (6:33 pm)

Hi All!
I just picked up a 94 Voyager 154k on it. The vehicle was well maintained. I have an issue with the gas guage which is baffling me. Intermittantly the guage will go from the proper amount and then fairly rapidly go down and flatline and the low fuel warning light comes on. The battery was changed recently (and this was a recent issue for the previous owner) The alternator is charging properly as I checked this earlier. The airbag light also stays on. I have removed power from the system to reset the ECM, and the trouble persists. The fuses and relays check out.
 
Can you lead me in the right direction? Any assistance is greatly appreciated
 
TIA
Tom

Problem with instrument panel by cloud0528

I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan and just recently started having problems with my instrument panel not coming on until I have driven several miles. Does anyone know why this could be happening and what I can do to fix it?

Likely the "solder issue," which seems to be quite common. I have it on my van. The instrument cluster goes dead periodically, and stays off for indeterminate amounts of time. No other affect on the functionality of the vehicle. I also found, while it was off for many days, that the odometer does not log miles during that time (big surprise, huh?!).
 
I find that a quick smack on the top of the dash above the instrument cluster often wakes it up, but it is becoming increasingly stubborn about working as time goes on. I really need to just pull out the cluster and solder the joint of the main connector, but I have plenty of other things to get done.

2002 Dodge Caravan Dash Lights by oceansoul41

I have read every message in the electrical forum.
 
I just rec'd the van today, as my jeep died:( Soon as it got dark, I said oooh lets take the van for a drive so I can see what the dash lights look like. Well, the ONLY lights that come on are the odometer, tripometer, and the digital clock on the radio. All the instruments work fine, there is just no lights. Is there only one light for the instrument panel AND the radio/AC etc?
 
Is this a lightbulb issue, a fuse issue, or a soldering issue?
I am taking back the car tomorrow, I was hoping to give the mechanic some heads up insight.
 
Thanks in advance,
angela

Angela--The interior light dimmer switch located just to the left of the steering wheel and to the right of the exterior light switch is probably in the OFF position (down). Rotate that control upward and I believe you will fix your "problem". A discussion of this and other light controls should be somewhere around page 132 or so in your owners manual.
