97 Grand Voyager with annoying electrical problem
Every so often I'd "lose" the dashboard display. This
is a well known problem and I could drive ok without it (I just had to be extra careful about my speed and not to run out of gas). And after a day or two it would come back ok. Note that the tach needle would be at something like 1,000 rpm and the auto transmission level indicator would be stuck on Low or somesch, but as long as I counted the clicks on the gear shifter I was ok. A couple of days ago the dashboard display went completely blank. No light at all. Car still worked fine (or I thought it did) and I figured this was the usual problem repeating. but then I notced that... the electric door lock/unlock wasn't orking, AND the headlights/rear lights weren't coming on either. Curiously if I held the high beam tggle switch the headlights would work - which is how I got home. And the turn signals and break lights were ok, too. So I got home, parked, and diconnected the battery. In the morning everything was ok. *whew*. But a hald hour later it all went dead again. Car still started ok and I could drive, but none of the lights or dashboard worked. Disconnected battery again. Things worked. Then stopped. Rinse, lather, repeat. Any suggestions as to cause? Thanks. - oh, the cruise control still works even though there's no activation/indication in the dashboard display. Thanks again __________________________________________________ ___ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] |

97 Grand Voyager with annoying electrical problem
sounds like issues with the body control module. have someone check for
codes but they may be gone after disconnecting the battery. hopefully there's a hard code in the PCM that can help.
