Electrical problem
1999 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

all the guages dont work and the car wont start. we used to just hit the dash board and they would come back on or unplug the battery for about an hour and it would work. what could this be? I tried all the the things you said and it still will not start. Let me explain it again. When we stick the key in, everything works except the guages and the car will not start. In the past when this happened we would just hit the dashboard and they would come back on but it doesn't work now. Also we would un plug the battery for about an hour and then it would work but that doesn't work now either. We tested the battery (good), we tested the coil (good) we tested fuel (good) we tested the ECM (good) we tested the BCM (good) we tested all fuses in car (good). What now do you think it is?
