If the dashboard gauges and power windows stopped working on a 1998 Chrysler Town and Country and it is not a fuse what could be wrong?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with my 98 Voyager. My digital odometer, all guages and powere locks went out. It turned out in MY case it was one of the wonderfull computers. It controlled most of the driver comfort features. Again, im MY case it was in the process of failing and only a matter of time before I'd lose headlights and everything else excluding the engine running. It cost about $800 for replacement. I HOPE this isn't the cse for and I wish you luck. Dave I have lost all the display readings (speedometer, odometer, fuel, temperature, warning lamps) but NOT the power locks. A reset (unplug and reconnect) of the wiring harness to the instrument panel has solved the problem. I guessed that it is the ground connection which is located behind the instrument panel and the air ducts on the driver side and the movement of the wiring harness was enough to restore the connection. Additionally... Just like above, I also lost all the display readings (speedometer, odometer, fuel, temperature) on my 1989 Town and Country. The power locks were working, but the vehicle would not start. The wiring harness mentioned above is just behind the headlight switch (driver side, near the air duct) with a white connector. It took about 20 minutes to remove all the paneling and 2 seconds to unplug and plug the harness back in. You must approach the connector from the top and use the metal release clip. I have little to no mechanical skills and was able to accomplish this easy fix. Thanks for the help! Mike
