I was driving into work yesterday and all of the instrument guages on the dash quit working. Oil, Temp, Fuel, Tach, Speedometer all went to 0. When starting the truck, if you have the parking brake on, all the guages work. As soon as you release the parking brake, all of the guages quit working.
Has anybody had similiar problems?
Thanks

Just a guess but it sounds like the instrument cluster is getting its ground through the parking brake light bulb. Remove the cluster and check the connector pins to see if they're loose. This is a Caravan thing, but worth checking. If they are loose, solder the pins to the copper circuits.
