Dash lights work but no gauges in my 1994 dodge intrepid!! i have checked every fuse i can find in the dash and under the hood but they still won't work, they don't even flicker when i turn my key. i have all my interior lights and it starts great 1st time everytime. i bought the car for pretty cheap because it was overheating, the woman said the fan motors burnt out but come to find out they were barley plugged in!! simple fix to a potentionally disasterious problem! and my transmission sounds perfect shifting and everything but now i dont know how cold (or hot) its running, i dont know how fast im going down the road, and i have no clue how much gas i have!!! ive heard i may have a bad cluster (about $700 to replace) but why do i have dash lights? the lady also said it had a new motor when she got it because a battery had busted and caught everything on fire so is there a possibility the wires are burnt or are they no where near the battery? OR could they have not been smart enough to fix the wiring from the motor to the dash?? i did take the dash (somewhat) apart and found no marks where someone tried messing with it before or anything else so im not sure but when i flipped the whole cluster upside-down everything but the gas gauge "fell" up slowly. the gas gauge just fell well past F (full) and im guessing it wont even work if i get the others fixed.. PLEASE HELP!! i have kids so im trying to be as safe as possible and i would love it if this is a cheap fix too LOL thanks for reading! marley and joseph at [email protected]

If you have a 1993-1995 Intrepid and you have a check engine light, you can find out what the codes are by following this process:
To obtain fault codes using the MIL (Check Engine Light):

1. Cycle ignition key to ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON within 5 second (do not actually crank engine!!)

2. Count the number of times the MIL on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause between the flashes representing the first and second digits of the code. Longer pauses seperate the individual two digit trouble code.

Example:
Lamp flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 more times. This is an indicates a DTC of 46.

3. Lamp will always flash 55 at the end of the test. This signals the end of the test.

You have put the computer in diagnostic mode and it will now display any codes that have been stored in memory. Each code will refer to a symptom your car is feeling.

Here is a list of all codes that can be displayed and what they mean:

Post Back With A Code, If you get one.
I Hope this Helps,

Electrical problem
1993 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

All five guages of the instrument panel do not work.
ie: speedometer
gas guage
temperature guage
automatic quadrant selector
rpm guage
dash lights work but no gauges in my 1994 dodge - 62217_left_ground_1-wjx2pyzwokz1jy5symyt5vs3-3-0.jpg




After reading through the Article, Pop the Hood and Check out the Grounding Locations. Look for any wire that looks like it should go somewhere. Screw it down (Ground) to the Frame Rail.
First Disconnect the Negative from Battery For a couple Minutes,
If the Engine was replaced they mighta missed a couple Grounds.
One is front Driver corner by the Battery
Two is on Passenger Corner.

You could buy a used cluster from a auto salvage yard for around $30 bucks or on eBay . Doesn't have to have a new one . None of the gauges work ? It just depends on how the gauges get there information . A 1994 dodge ,i wouldn't think it comes from a serial data bus , communication network . But after looking at a wiring diagram , i see your vehicle has a body computer (BCM ) A serial data bus . Information from the sensors - fuel sending unit an coolant temp . etc..... go to the BCM , then over the bus to the instrument cluster . Find a wiring diagram an check connection of the bus wires at the cluster .

SOURCE: 2005 dodge neon--while car is

It could be a bad starter.
And a dead short within the starter would cause the fuses to blow as you mentioned.

I would pull the starter off, and take it into a local parts store to be tested.
If it does pass, you have taken that part of the problem out of the equation, and can begin looking for other causes.

SOURCE: gauges and odometer don't work

unfurtanetely the the board is burned out due to moisture on the wiring, you may have to replace the board but keep in mind that the wiring must be dry.

SOURCE: I connected battery terminals backwards

It sounds like you shorted out quite a few things. Unfortunately, it sounds like you'll have to trace all your wires to see where the shorts are. I believe that several of your wires have fused together

Testimonial: "Thank you, I will try that also."

My 1995 dodge intrepids battery died i charged the battery but now my gauges and wipers wont work. Does anyone know how to reset the car so they will work?

You can take the host side battery post off the battery to reset the car. Make sure you check all your fuses first. It could be your dash fuse. If not, you may have an electrical problem in that wiring harness.

Dodge intrepid/97 caught fire replaced all the wires now the spark plugs are not firing

You left out alot of info. We need more to be able to help you. What caused the fire, etc. Did you already check your fuses ( both under the dash and under the hood)? Is your check engine light temporarily coming on when you turn the key on? Can you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key on?

96 dodge intrepid without heat or power windows

Check all the fuses including the ones under the hood. If there's an alarm it could be malfunctioning, seen that a million times. The body control module is often affected by after market alarms. This would cause many of your issues.

1995 dodge intrepid

The ignition switch is faulty if the gauges and dash lights will not come on, change the fuses first. Transmission fluid and filter change needed. Differential gear oil change also needed.
