After the body worked on my 2002 dodge grand

Have a look at this. http://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-caravan/337664-instrument-cluster-repair.html

The first thing to do is reach up (if possible) behind the cluster and make sure the plugs to it are fully inserted, push them in or remove and reinsert if possible to reach them. If that doesn't fix the problem the entire cluster must be removed and then sent out for repair to a shop that repair Chrysler electronics.

The Body Control Module (BCM) is located in the passenger compartment, attached to the bulkhead underneath the left side of the instrument panel. But, have you checked for a bad brake switch first?

It is likely that it's the main wire connector pins on the instrument cluster circuit board. By re-flowing the solder on the 13 pins, you will probably resolve the problems. This is even more likely to be the problem if there has been erratic dash board, gauge, idiot light behaviour. Let me know if you need instructions on how to remove the instrument cluster to re-solder the 13 pins. It actually doesn't take too long.

If the transmission will still shift then the problem is in the instrument cluster.Will need to be repaired at the dealer or a speedometer repair shop.If the transmission will not shift then the problem is most likely in the TCM(transmission control module)and/or wiring.Need to have transmission and body computer codes pulled.You will need to go to a professional repair facility to do this because the code pullers they use at the parts stores will not access these codes.

its your van and you can do what you like with it,go for it.adrian,,,,,,,,

1. do the park lamps work?
2. dash lamp fuse burnt?
3. is the instrument cluster analog or digital?
4. digital clusters have been known to fail however the cluster lighting is controlled by a body computer.
5. proper diagnosis with require a scan tool that will access the body module ( computer)

they use small bulbs in most Instrument Clusters, I would check & replace as required

Well if you checked all of the fuses, then most likely the wire harness that is plugged into you gauge cluster from inside the dash either came loose or your gauges cluster is faulty and blew out. I would check to see if that wire harness came loose and if it didnt then your probably going to have to replace that whole gauge cluster. Check around on ebay then are pretty cheap on there.

i was having the same promblem for my 98 dodge grand caravan es...with the no stat promblem...i had the (bcm) replaced in it body control module...but that did not do no good either because it only got it started for a few days...now it's back at the shop and the last resort would be the wireing..because everything else is fine...starter,relays,battery,etc...hope this helps...any more questions email me at [email protected]..
