1998 Dodge Grand Caravan - ABS warning light on, vehicle running but gauges not working
Had the following problem twice
- once after van had been driven around town most of day(start/stop) - once after van had been sitting in work parking lot all day - Vechicle starts - But, temperature guage, Rpm guage and gas guage do not work - All other electirical (lights, radio, windows, wipers etc work) and morter is running. - ABS warning light stays on - Let vehicle sit for a while, without doing anything, eventually vehicle starts normally and everything appears to be fine. No ABS warning light Fuse - guages run on own fuse - instrutment pannel warning lights on their own fuse first time it happend, I was not present not assume fuse problem -started up the van and everything work fine - pulled out gauges fuse looked okay but replaced anyway Second time - 1.5 weeks later - Started vehicle - ABS light came on - but no temp gauge, rpm gauge, no gas gauge - radio, ligts wipers etc..working - turn off/off couple of times same problem - let sit about 10 minutes started up and everything okay I am really hoping that is some kind of know problem not a intermittent Fuse/Short/ground problem as they can take forever to find. Has anyone heard/seen anything like that Mark Lucas thanks |

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan - ABS warning light on, vehicle running but gauges not working
Hi Mark-
How old is your battery? My '98 was doing the dead gauges thing and I noticed the odometer and shifter display were flickering. Turned out the battery was weak - new battery and all has been perfect since. (I do not recall the ABS light being on.)
