My guages died, speedometer - temp - gas, and the "check guages" warning light came on. I checked fuses and couldn't find any bad. Any ideas.

CJ77 posted the following for this same problem under Dodge Caravan and it fixed my problem:
You should try to check the bcm (body controller module). If you are sitting in the drivers seat, the connector is located behind the panel in front of your right knee. Sometimes this will "lock-up" causing your check gauges light to illuminate, all of your gauges stop working, you lose the low speeds on your windshield wipers, the rear door (liftgate)release does not work and the key chime also goes out. To fix this, you need to unplug the connector (located behind the aforementioned panel) wait a few minutes and then plug it back together. If this is where the problem is, everything should work after that. It did for me. Good Luck! :smokin:

Appreciate your conscienciousness. Though no one replied to your plight, you found your solution in another thread and posted it to yours which I happened to find.
I had no gauges or dash lights, except for the "check gauges" light, and no wipers one morning when I started my 92 voyager. Five days later, tiring of guessing my fuel level and speed, I'm checking forums and your post is the closest match. I couldn't find the BCM connection, but I cycled my liftgate latch release (it was fine), checked for a code (none), and then started the engine. Low and behold, everything was back to normal. I wonder if checking for a code or cycling the liftgate latch release had anything to do with it.
Thanks again. I doubt that I would be as fortunate without your posting.

My speedometer and fuel guage quit working once in a while, but always start working again a few miles down the road. Longest it's quit for is about 30 miles.

Hello, New here.
I recently Have a similar conditin although a bit more troublesome. I hope someone can help!
2 days ago on Thursday 12-30-04, I noticed that the "Check Engine" light was on. I checked all fluid levels-fine.
I consulted the owners manual and it sated it was probably a emission control thing and would not cripple the vehicle so I planned on taking it in on Monday(Tomorrow, 1-3-05).
Here is where it gets ugly.
Severe winter storm here, high build up of snow on the roads.
can feel the undercarriage dragging on the snow.....
On the way to taking my kids to their Mothers house, I notice the "Check Guages" light come on....
Im half way to the destination so I continue, knowing I had already checked the fluids......
A little later the "Battery" Indicator light comes on, telling me there is a charging system problem.
So of course there is....
Vehicle loses all electrical power in a short time as its night so lights, radio, fan blowers on....kill the battery.
Im wondering if there are wirng harnesses under the car that could get "trashed" by driving in high snow...
This vehicle has been an Iron Horse, with no problems whatsoever and for something to totally fail in the short time it did, I am suspiciuos of a simple element?
Is there anyone out there who these sequence of events have happened in a similar fashion?
:o(
any help?
Thanks in advance.
