OK Here is the low-down.
99' Plymouth Grand Voyager
We are trying to sell it, but you can't get much for a vehicle with the problems it has.
-Occasionally when you turn it on, it will turn over, the RPM will stabilize, but the RPM gauge won't read anything. And after about 5 seconds the RPM drops out and turns off. It will do this about 3 or 4 times before it doesn't respond to any ignition what-so-ever.
The only correction to the problem I have found is time. It will usually turn over and run smooth after about 5 hours of inactivity.
-The driver's side power window does not work. Occasionally you can roll it down a bit before the electrical stops responding, and then you have to wait a while to roll it back up.
-A more frequent problem that has been occurring more and more as time goes on is: my entire gauge cluster will drop to zeros. No RPM, no speedo, no gas gauge, no temperature gauge, it doesn't even tell you what gear you are in.
I think it may help to note that when this occurs 3 lights come on: the Service Engine light, the Alarm Set light, and the ABS.
-We got it checked out and had the starter and battery examined, both are fine...
Any ideas for a diagnosis/cure?
Thanks
Tom
