Do
a google search for "1998 voyager instrument lcuster solder" and you
will find an abundance of posts regarding the soldered joints on the
main wiring harness connector on the back of your instrument cluster. If the
behaviour is at all erratic and unpredictable, or hitting the dash makes
the gauges come back to life, then you are about 99.9% sure it is the
solder problem. It takes about 8 minutes to remove the instrument
cluster (okay maybe 15), and about 2 minutes to remove the circuit
board. By examining the solder joints of the main connector with a
magnifying glass, you will probably see cracked or corroded solder on
them. Briefly reheat each solder joint with a soldering iron to re-flow
the solder. Your erratic gauge behaviour should now be history.
Do a google search for 1998 voyager erratic dash gauge problems and you will find an abundance of posts regarding the soldered joints on the main terminal connector on the back of your instrument cluster.

The caveat is (and there is always a caveat) it could be some other electronic component contributing to the problem. The solder solution above will at least eliminate the cluster causing the problem.
The keys used for margin control on the brothers is the ALT key just to the left of the space bar, and the #3,4,& 5 keys.
To move outside the present margin to the left, backspace to the left margin. Press the ALT and '3' keys at the same time to bypass the margin. Back space past the margin to the point where the margin is to be set. At the point you want the new left margin, press the ALT and '4' keys at the same time to set the new left margin.
To move outside the present margin to the right, spacebar over to the right margin. Press the ALT and '3' keys at the same time to bypass the margin. Then spacebar over to the point where the new right margin is to be set. Press the ALT and '5' keys at the same time to set the new right margin.
The basics are that the ALT +3 releases margins, ALT +4 sets the left margin at the point of the carrier, ALT + 5 sets the right margin at the point of the carrier.
To change or reset margins, the keys involved are the ALT key to the left of the spacebar, the #keys 3,4, & 5.
The ALT & '3' keys are used to bypass the set margins.
To bypass the left margin, move the carrier to the left margin. Press the ALT & '3' keys at the same time. Release them then backspace the carrier to the point the new margin is wanted. Press the ALT and '4' keys at the same time to set the new left margin.
To bypass the right margin, move the carrier to the right margin. Press the ALT & '3' keys at the same time. Release them and spacebar to the point where the new right margin is wanted. Press the ALT & '5' keys to set the new right margin.
The main thing to remember is to move the carrier to the point where the new margin is needed. ALT + 3 bypasses old margins, ALT + 4 sets the left margin, & ALT + 5 sets the right margin.
Check to see if your shift, control, alt, or other modifier keys are stuck on your keyboard. These can cause your keyboard to act erratically. Also, if this is a wireless keyboard, you may need to change the batteries, as this can also cause a keyboard to act erratically.
hi, check for the foll. issues..BIOS not configured or bad,(Check Lithum Battery),or bad ram module, check if the SMPS itself is bad,less likely that the MOBO is bad.
Typewriters have alimit to how far to the right or left that you can set margins. Once you use the alt & 6 key to bypass the current margin setting then move to the new setting then hold the alt key and touch the 7 key to keep it in the new position.
