1997 Chrysler t&c van repeatedly loses all dash gauges so you can not tell how fast you are going etc. . Abs light and service engine soon light come on. No remedy as of yet . Had one mechanic tell me it was the body control module but it would cost over $900 to replace{and that might not fix the problem!}. Also lost wiper function, I have to use the wash function to clear windshield when it's raining or snowing. Mechanic said that is related to the bcm also.
The instrument panel lights shut off while driving.
