Flickering lights, gauges and radio

We have a grand caravan se with a 3.3 v6 and 30000 miles. All the lights, headlights, gauges, radio will flicker and or go on and off the whole time we drive it. The problem just started after we put new tires on it. Don't know why that would have been cause but it's just kinda odd. The abs and brake warning lights on the dash are the only ones to come on and flicker as well. Any ideas?

Sounds like a wiring issue, it's actually hard to diagnose without being there, with that many things happening all at once I'd guess a possible problem with the underhood relay/fuse box. On older vans they sometimes short out inside.To be sure you might want to go to your dealer, for about an hours labour they should be able to diagnose it properly. They will only go as far as you tell them to.
If I can be of any more help please ask..
Good Luck.

When driving the gauges twitch, the brake and abs

1. Unplug, Check, and Replug the Accessories Relay located in the IPM-Relay and Fuse Box. This may be starting to fail. There should be an extra Spare Relay of the same size located within the IPM.
OR
2. There is a ground for this circuit that is starting to go bad (corrosion, oxidation and/or poor contact)
OR
3. There is a connection behind the Dash that is loose causing the flickering.
Start with #1 first.

05 G Caravan Dash Lights, gages & headlights intermitantly flicke

Try your headlight switch. If it is going bad it should affect all of these since they all work of the same switch.

Dush board lights and gauges start flickering

indeed a fun one..i suspect a floating ground (poor ground) near instrument cluster causing the anomalies.....headlight circuit and signals are different so this makes sense .... if not fixed the instrument cluster will finally smoke and need replaced i think ...good luck
