I have a 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE with the 3.0L. Every so often, I'll be driving, or just be sitting at a stop light and my gauges will drop. Sometimes they all do it, sometimes only 1 or 2 do it. I found that if I tap on the dash, they start working again - also when this happens, my ABS light comes on. When I top the dash, the ABS light goes off, and the gauges work.
Is there a short in the dash, or maybe a bad connection? I am familiar with fuses and relays, testing and replacing them - and so far all are good. I just did a full tune up on my van - (was doing this before); I replaced both O2 sensors, plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor <--they were both shot - points were ground down and white - rotor had a crack in it - I have thought about switching to an EFI Distributor as I have been told they are better, since there are no points.
Any ideas about the dash problem would be great - another thing i noticed but am not too worried about, is my dome light when I open and close the driver front door. Sometimes the light come on, sometimes it doesn't - sometimes it takes a few seconds, then it comes on. My best guess is the button (if I could find it) is sticky. Any input on any of this will deem useful. Thank you,

well you might have"bad ign wires" or bad ign coil!!!!O2 sensor wouldn't do that usually miss fires is wire ,coil, broken or crack porcelain on spark plug usually done on installing them!!!!!! I know the three spark plugs closest to fire wall are not easy to get at and some time spark plugs get cracked and over looked good luck

PCV is something to pay attention to also. Not sure what engine your running, 3.0L, 3.3L, or 3.8L. My 99 Caravan is a 3.8L and what I have found,in my experience is that they all will use some oil, whether Chrysler product or not, it's the amount that I'd worry about. I've used one type of oil in my van since I bought it years ago, with just over 40,000 miles, and have found that when oil is fresh & clean, it doesn't burn any, but when it does start to use a little, I look at the odometer, and it's telling me that it's almost time to change it again. I usually add as needed until I can get around to changing it, and the odd time, that went longer than it should have, but today I have, approx. 170,000 miles on it, and still going strong.How's your consumption?

Replace the turn signal relay. (daylight running lights and turn signal in one unit) It costs about 50 dollars.

It can be several things. Te simple one is that the connector behind the cluster is loose. The other is the circut board that makes up the cluster is going bad. Try disconnecting the cluster and re connecting. If this does not work, try replacing it with a sed one from a salvage yard or from ebay.
SOURCE: '99 Plymouth Grand Voyager fan switch issues
The problem is not with the switch, it's the blower motor resistor. The resistor is usually located in duct work near the blower motor. It will have 4or 5 wires going to it and is held in place with a couple screws. These things generate heat, so they put them in duct work so the fan blows air across them to keep them cool. Sometimes the plug gets hot and melts, you should be able to buy the resitor and the plug with wires (pig tail) from an auto parts store or a dealer. The resistors are usually about $50 the pig tail is about $30.
