How To Repair Chrysler/Dodge Minivan Instrument Cluster Problems. This video was done on my 99 Dodge Caravan. The instrument cluster was not registering anything. With a little research I found out the problem might be the solder joints on the back of the instrument cluster circuit board. I decided to give the repair a try and made this video.

If you need to know how to remove an instrument cluster from a Chrysler or Dodge minivan, this video will show you how to do that. The video also shows how to disassemble the instrument cluster for repair and how to solder the problem joints.

This money saving repair won’t take that long and may save you from buying an entire cluster. This video also shows how to check the instrument cluster bulbs as well as replace them.

After removing and inspecting the instrument cluster I think the problem might be the ignition switch. Every time I moved the wiring the key chime would go on and off. This usually indicates a loose connection. If you’re doing this repair, you might want to check the ignition switch while you’re in there.

What year is this vehicle? I have a 2005 dodge grand caravan, all my gauges, blinkers, and brake lights stopped working

I really need to get around to fixing this one of these days in my van.

psycho87 says:

So would this repair technique be used in the same instance of the dashboard cluster going into "limp mode"

Ron Tolley says:

Thanks for posting a great video but you skipped over the most important part. What joints are you soldering? Maybe your video was interrupted or something?

pendragonshall says:

What did you solder? Everything was easy to follow until you just jumped to the soldering? Did you replace something? Did a soldering weld break?

Darrin Ramirez says:

Remove a dash board need 20 bolts. Stupid

Faye Nguyen says:

My friend hired a guy to do exactly what you did, he charged $100 to fix it, and it started and ran for three weeks. Now it won't start again. Do I need a new Cluster?

Faye Nguyen says:

At least you were able to start your car. Mine wouldn't start at all.

Jeremy Mack says:

You didn’t show the damage? Would have been nice if you showed the broken connection.
