Key was left on and ran the battery down. The van was jump started and then the speedometer and tachometer did not work. To look at the two gauges they look to be on the wrong side of the stop pins. I checked all of the fuses and did not find any blown. Thinking that maybe the instrument cluster isnt getting power but the temp and fuel gauge and the odometer is still working.

I have seen this a few times on caravans. The needle was swept pass the stopper and is now on the wrong side.

If you have access to a scantool that can to functional tests, then do a sweep test on the gauges and this should correct the problem after you work the needle back to its proper position. If not, you can simply remove the cluster and tilt it upside down to move the needle back to its proper place.

Let me know if this works.
