Its either the alternator has give out. or a loose or broken belt. if belt is ok and tight, then at battery there should be at least 13 volts when engine is off. when running, at battery should read 14 to 14.2 volts. if lower than 14 volts while running, replace or rebuild alternator. have a good day !!

Going down the road,all electric shuts down

If it was a drastic stop there’s a major issue, take it to a shop. If it was a slow and gradual slowing of the fans or slowly dimming lights as driving then the alternator is bad.

2007 Dodge Caravan won't start.Batt. is good, all lights work, Turn key, solenoid clicks and stops, all gauge needles slowly move to max., and return to min. No codes displayed.

When you try to start it do the lights dim way low, have you been able to start it with a jump from another vehicle, unfortunately, chances are the starter needs to be replaced. How many miles does it have?

Friday while driving the dashboard gauges stopped working except the speedometer and RPMs. No air, no power locks or truck release. Also all the indicator lights you see when the key is on the on position...

It sounds like the anti-theft security system is engaged, this is keeping your vehicle from starting. I would recommend calling a local dealer where you are and ask them to help you. Hope this helps.

Battery died, gauge cluster bulbs on dimly, now rough idle result

How much have you driven vehicle? You need to drive long enough for computer to reset refrence points onboard. If that does not work, you have a bad voltage limiter on your instrument cluster board!

Guages stop and irratic idle with dimming lights

what probley happened the alternator started to heat up alittle to much and caused the belt to spin on the pulley i would go ahead and get the alternator replaaced as soon as possible. as for the lights dimming and the gauges not working you was running off your battery making the vehicle mess up i would also get your battery checked while your at it.
