Dodge Grand Caravan 2002

A few weeks back: the speedometer/fuel/heating display went blank a few times while driving on one day.so there was no display. It automatically came back up between droping my kids to school and to my work place. The problem only happend one more time that day but fixed it self.


Yesterday: i went to walmart and the display started flickering and the speed/heat and fuel marker was going up and down .. after 10 min it became normal. Parked my car. After i came back to my car in 30 min, my car started with a long crank. I turned it off. When i tried to start it, nothing would happen not even the click sound. The power of the entire car went off. Nothing would happen. tried a few times. After 15 min, tried and the car came back to life.

Today morning, the car wouldnt start - dead - same issue. Not even click. Had to open the car with the key. Called CAA. got a boost and the car
started but the display was dead. Sent it to the mechanic.

Do you know what this could be?

Thanks!
