Hi,sorry to say but have you tryed the battery.

dashboard doesn't require a lot of juice. check the front lights and make sure they're nice and bright. if they are, then the problem is probably the starter. if they're not bright, then you probably need to clean the terminals and make sure they're tight.

Sounds like you might have wire problem.
Try turning the key to the point before ignition. This is actually a dashboard test that have all lights on the dashboard turn on. Try to see if the lights are completely bright or a bit dull in the light.

You battery might be uncharging itself, instead of charging. I have tried that. even with an only 1-2 day old battery.

I would check the key switch first to make sure all circuits have power with the key on.
There is a fuse for the cluster too.

do you maybe have a light that looks like a little engine or a light that says service engine.

That light means that you are setting the tire pressure guage. there is nothing wrong with the van.

replace the ignition module

i changed the notor on my 2001 bmw 325ci and now the car wont start. the check engine light does not come on at all
