Electrical problem
1998 Dodge Caravan Automatic

None of the gauges on the dash are working. Do you know what the problem might be?

One common cause of this problem is loose connector pins on the back of the cluster. They can be soldered to the copper circuits to repair the intermittent connections.

A couple other things you should check out would be the fuse for the gauges underneath the steering column, or the speed sensor could be malfunctioning, it controls a lot of the gauges.

I had this same exact thing happen. I took the dash apart and looked at the back of the gage panel, there is a bad solder which is very common with this model year, once I hit it with the iron it never happened again.
