#273199 - 10/06/09 02:48 PM Car Question (OT)
Bill in Dayton Senior Member Registered: 08/23/04 Posts: 2202 Loc: Dayton, OH USA	I have a 2003 Town & Country minvan...Dash and console lights out, everything works fine... I'm guessing its a fuse, but looking at the box lid, where it lists all of them-I see nothing that corresponds with a dash light. My speedometer/tach/fuel/temp gauge are all out... Any ideas? Thanks! ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton

I have heard that this is a common problem that can be fixed by disconneting the battery for 5 minutes and then reconnecting again. This resets the BCM (computer). Worth a try and won't cost anything. Jerry

Thanks! ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton

Bill in Dayton Senior Member Registered: 08/23/04 Posts: 2202 Loc: Dayton, OH USA	Appreciate the help guys... Per the website Dan suggested, I pulled the ign fuse for 60 seconds and replaced it...No difference. Unlike the guys in the link, everything works except the lights for speedometer/tach, fuel and temp... I will disconnect the battery for 60 seconds and see if that does anything... ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton

Bill in Dayton Senior Member Registered: 08/23/04 Posts: 2202 Loc: Dayton, OH USA	Pulled a different fuse and voila!!! Everything works... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction... A mechanic I'll NEVER be. LOL, I'm more nervous poking around the hood than I am playing in front of 500 people-go figure... ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton

Jerryghr Senior Member Registered: 01/14/02 Posts: 1497 Loc: Buffalo, NY	Glad you were able to fix it. Who knows what the dealer would have charged you to do the same thing. Now adays it's really important to have a good honest mechanic that you can trust.

Its another example of how powerful and cool the internet is. 30 years ago, I would've likely incurred a bill. ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton
