Dashboard Panel works sometimes and not others

I am wondering what I can do to get the dashboard panel to work all of the time. It comes off and on at random times. When it isn't working the abs light is lit, when it comes back on, the abs light goes off! Please help me!!

The circuit board for the dash is a weak item prone to failure. The problem is conncentrated at the connector pins. You are lucky if you only loose your instruments, many times the board shorts to ground causing the other computers in the car ( BCM ECM PCM ) to stop working and the engine quits. Replacement at the dealer is about $425 for the part and $100 plus for labor. Somebody handy with a soldering iron could resolder the pins for a whole lot less. I hope this helps as I know how frustrating this problem can be. Check this out: http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/showthread.php?t=2793

Good Luck

It was very easy to resolder......Even if you don't know what you're doing......Go to the library, look up instrument panel removal. Resolder both connectors that plug into panel....very very easy.
