2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
Dash lights go out and engine light comes on. Autozone diagnostic check shows the following codes:
Lost communication with Body control V0140
Lost Communication with Fuel level V110C
Lost Communication with instrument pannel V0155
Any idea where to start? I cleaned the ground cable connection from the engine to the motor mount (pass side)
Where are the other ground locations?
Where is the Body Control module located?
I appreciate any and all help.

start off by checking the Fuse.
But stuff like this, it is very hard to DIY unless u r very good with eletrical diagnostic or have right equipment. are you familiar with testing wires with Multimeters, reading wiring diagrams, and comfortable taking computers and trim panels out? if you are, there are series of test this and that u can do.
I would not suggest u replacing any parts without knowing what's wrong, because i believe the BCM is like $450, and the Cluster is like $300. and eletrical parts are none refunded.
I've seen faulty BCM and Cluster causing stuff like this, and even broken wires around the BCM area.
Also, I believe there are a lot more codes in the computer than Autozone can pull up. u'll need more advanced scanner.
I suggest u to pay the diagnostic fee at a dealership to tell u what's wrong instead.

Can't get at my usual sources right now being on the other side of the country so this is the best I can come up with. This article is a reasonable primer on PCI data bus function and it touches on troubleshooting. You have a PCI data bus so disregard any CCD bus info. Search the net for Chrysler/Dodge PCI data bus info I'm sure there's more out there.
