Driving home from work last night and dash lights started dimming and radio went quiet. Dash warning light of "Check Guages" "Air Bag" were on. All guages were fine except the battery one - that didn't move. Could it be just a bad battery? One cable is very corroded. Or, is it the alternator?

U0155 definition is lost communication with the ipc control mod , (instrument panel cluster) , reasons include faulty IPC , loose / bad connections at IPC , i read some forums and and some found connection issues at fuse box , when the problem exists you could try wiggling wires at behind fuse box or the back of the IPC try to locate source if indeed it is a connection issue .
good luck.

I have seen this before in my own Town & Country. It was an electrical problem. This can either be a bad battery or a problem with your alternator and voltage regulator. I would lean toward the alternator if you have enough power to start the engine but then it runs poorly and gauges and lights go crazy.

In responding to rbenjami, I am not proposing the same solution for all who claim to have a similar problem because I don't believe that that is the case. When the gauges flicker periodically it may be a case of a bad body computer, which is a big deal and may be covered by warranty beyond the normal 3 yr./36k miles. For those with issues related to use of seat warmers, that is not uncommon and should lead to discontinued use.
