Today I took my car in to get checked out because I've been finding it dead. Each time it was dead, AAA would come out and jump start it, and everything would be fine. 3 weeks of perfection, and then bam, it's dead again. The AAA guy told me to get a new battery and everything should be good. Today I took the car in, they said it tested bad, so that makes sense. So I got a new battery, and on the way home notice that all of my cluster instruments are not working. Neither are the digital readings. Everything is dead. I came online and did some research, and ended up trying the "hold the trip button down on off, then switch to on", and also taking out the IOD fuse in the box under the hood.

Anyone know what this could be!?

The auto center that did my battery said they have no clue why it wasn't working, and a local mechanic said I need to take it to Dodge.

I thought I would check and see if I could find any other resolutions before spending my Christmas money on something else for this van.

Thanks to anyone reading!!

Oh duh! Sorry, it's a 2000 and I think it's a 2.4L.

Same here on my 1996 caravan. Could be cold solder.
Mine doesn't work when the van is 1st turned on and works after about 10 minutes.
