I have the same issue with my 99 TJ. After a ton of searching, I came across a technical service bulletin (NHTSA #606058, Service bulletin #081599, Replacement bulletin #082098) about the problem. There is an electrical component that is failing. I called the dealership and they told me it's about 200 bucks to fix.

I had the same problem on my 99 Jeep wrangler. Although I had mine fixed while under warranty, a temporary fix is to give an open handed smack to the top left of the dashboard. I say open handed because you want to smack fairly firmly but not break anything. Use this until you can afford to fix it properly.

The problem is a loose (poorly designed) connector under the dash, smacking it jars it and reestablishes the connection till the next time it comes loose.

What causes the gauges to quit and dash display to go out and come back on in a couple of days on a 1998 Grand Caravan?

I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan that has the same problem. A friend of mine had the same van with the problem. He took his to the shop, they determined that there was a short in the wiring harness. It was rubbing up against something. It cost $200 to have it repaired. I'm guessing that is the problem with mine as well. If I hit a bump and the air is moist it will cause the gagues of the tachometer, odometer, and speedometer to drop. The ABS light comes on and all of the letters (R, N, D, etc..) for the gears are circled. It usually comes back on after a while but the longest amount of time was for 125 miles.
