Default 1999 dodge caravan instrument cluster

So it's not new. I am new here and I am not sure how it works.

My 1999 Grand Caravan Instrument Cluster, Wipers, Headlights, overhead computer have stopped working.

I have removed the instrument cluster soldered the joints pulled 3 clusters from cars in junk yard. Still does not work.

Is this van worth saving or should I donate it to a worthy cause?

Many thanks for your support.

> Have you inspected the HVAC panel connector for any signs of overheating. This can melt the connector, open the data bus and kill the cluster.
> If your radio and message center and exterior lights are working your fuses are good.
