Voyager SE 97, 3.0.

I've searched this problem in this Forum and lots of same problem.
:grinyes:
My problem is slightly diffrent form others.
As I turn on the head lights, the light on the dash on as well so that I can see the dash has power. I've checked the connector into cluster with a power tester and yes the cluster has power.
When I turn the ignition switch to ON position, speedo and fuel guage slightly moved(sounds tick!!) and set back to ZERO.

But after starting car, no guages are ON at all. It was a intermittent problem but it's not working at all. All guages except background light.

I've checked all things mentioned here including bad solders and IOD and electric issues.
It comes to end with BCM I guess.
Any other issue that I have to look at before going to a junkyard?

If you can get to it you might try pulling the cable to bcm and then reseating it , maybe it has some corrosion on it after 11 years .

many caravans have this problem and if you let it go your guages and spedo etc wont work. take out the 4 screws that hold on the a/c stuff and unplug it and inspect for a burnt terminal I JUST did one 5 min ago. Clean it up and plug back in or get one from the junkyard
