i have a 97 chrysler town and country lxi 3.8 front wheel drive. the odometer and gauges go out and the alarm set amber, service engine soon, abs indicators all light up, if this happens while driving the engine does not stall. but if the gauges and odometer does not come on when the i turn the switch the van will start and then stalls... bcm? pcm? or could it be a ground wire loose?

i had it scanned by auto zone, says check computer, then had it scanned by mechanic said check sbec,and all codes reset, the van would run but no gauges would come on, then one day i started it and all gauges came on, has left me stranded 5 times since then. when it does start, if i hit a bump in the road, all gauges go out, odometer goes out, and the service engine, abs amber and alarm set all come on. If the engine is running, it does not stall, but at start up if no gauges do not come on then the engine will start up and then stall? maybe a ground wire due to the intermition? i am looking for the ground for the bcm?
