In the event that you have not completely fixed this problem, I suggest the following: Do a google search for "98 voyager instrument cluster solder" and you will find an abundance of posts regarding the soldered joints on the main terminal connector on the back of your instrument cluster. If the behaviour is at all erratic and unpredictable, or hitting the dash makes the gauges come back to life, then you are about 99.9% sure it is the solder problem. It takes about 8 minutes to remove the instrument cluster (okay maybe 15), and about 2 minutes to remove the circuit board. By examining the solder joints of the main connector with a magnifying glass, you will probably see cracked or corroded solder on them. Briefly reheat each solder joint with a soldering iron to re-flow the solder. Your erratic gauge behaviour should now be history.

Yes you have to change the body control modual it is under the dash and usualy is white and most likely you will have to reprogram at the dealer once replaced. But the body control mod controls all those items and they like going bad.

1996 plymouth voyager 3.3 fuel gauge don't work!

This is a wiring problem. I have an intermitten issue with the gauge. I have checked the connections at the junction box and BCM, but it did not cause any changes. One I have not checked but hope fixes it is a "cold" solder joint on the panel PCB. I have read other issues with it, so it may be the same.
I suggest you check there first also.

It can be several things. Te simple one is that the connector behind the cluster is loose. The other is the circut board that makes up the cluster is going bad. Try disconnecting the cluster and re connecting. If this does not work, try replacing it with a sed one from a salvage yard or from ebay.

you have to replace the " body control module " located under dash drivers side. and most of time they have to be reprogrammend unless you buy it new from dealer and they do it before you get it. the body control mod controls all those items and go bad alot.
