OUR '94 DODGE CARAVAN GAUGES HAVE DIED. NOTHING WORKS. THE WIPERS WORK BUT WON'T DELAY. THE CRUISE DOES WORK BUT NOT THE SPEEDOMETER OR GAS GAUGES. NO OVERHEAD INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK BUT THE DASH LIGHTS DO WORK BUT SOMETIMES GO OFF WHILE WE'RE DRIVING BUT IF WE TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHTS & THEN TURN THEM BACK ON, THE DASH LIGHTS COME BACK ON. NOT THAT IT MATTERS CAUSE THEY DON'T SHOW ANYTHING. IT SAYS TO CHECK GAUGES BUT WHEN WE'VE TRIED AT AUTO PARTS STORES, IT WON'T DO A DIAGNOSTICS TEST TO SHOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PLEASE HELP! THANKS, ANITA

You may have tried this, but if you reach in from underneath the dash, can you feel a large group of wires that go into your dash panel, can you push them tight towards your dash panel? I hope that helped. There is usually a fuse in the fuse panel for interior/instrument panel lights that you could check also.
