Oooo man i just spent a ton of money trying to figure this problem out. i have a 99 bravada to. let me guess the gauges lite up but the rpm and spedo do not work. also the transmission wont shift while in drive. this is how i fixed mine. on the driver side, open the door there is a fuse box on the side of the dash. it is probly shorted out, even tho the fuses arnt blow it could still not be working. here is what u can to to fix it temporarly. take out the fuses that say dash and ignition, now run a hot wire to the fuse box and touch it to the ignition and dash fuse spots. and while u have both of them connected turn the car on and put it in drive and it should take off in first gear and run how it should. (when u connect the hot wire to those spots the dash should come on, even tho the key isnt on)

My PRNDL don't work, loose shift indicator won't go into gear. Plenty of transmission fluid, no obvious wear or breakage, what do I do now?

When you turn the key to the ON position are there any instrument lights on the dash? Does the radio work? If not, dead battery.

99 chrysler LHS odometer not working & engine light on

Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's could point you in a diagnostic direction . Most auto part stores will check them for free .Not shifting ,odometer not work would make me believe the VSS - vehicle speed sensor is bad , engine light coming on has to do with the engine management system , not the engine mechanical ! You don't know about OBD 2 - onboard diagnostic's . The check engine light it's called ,comes on when the vehicle is polluting 1 & 1/2 times more then the EPA allows . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop that knows how it works .

the speedo and odometer are both worked from the VSS ( (vehicle speed sensor)
check for the reason of metal on the sensor end
could have an internal problem that is not allowing the shifting down so have the transmission check out bat an accredited transmission shop

Tranmission won't into shift into D stays in 2nd. gear speed odmetor don;t work

Hi...sounds like you need to have your 3-2 shift solenoid in the transmission replaced. Go to a local Auto Zone auto parts store near you and ask them to check you computer codes to see if this solenoid shows up. They do not charge for this service.

My 1996 Lexus ES300 suddenly stopped displaying speed or odometer, check engine light came on, and transmission stopped shifting properly. I guessed the problem was with the transmission speed sensor and...

Call around find a shop that will give you a free estimate on it, have them scan it. Don't think the interment panel will show up on there scan, but it also won't make your car run bad if your interment panel is not working. I would guess you have a bad ECM, or some fuse or relay that is bad. Mechanics are like doctors never trust the first diagnoses until you have heard it from another two doctors. Unless of coarse they are you long used trusted mechanic.
