1998 T&C having gauge issues PLEASE HELP
I have a 1998 Town & Country. This issue just started about 3 days ago. Here is a break down of what happens:
When starting, everything is fine. This fluctuates but the ABS light comes on, then 2 to 5 seconds later the gauges all go down ie: the fuel mod goes all the way to E, the speedometer goes to 0, the RPM gauge goes to 0, the oil indicator goes to C, the drive console (P R D D 3) goes completely dark, the miles driven also goes completely dark..... Sometimes all goes back to normal after anywhere from 5 seconds to a much as 2 minutes. This is the 3rd day it is happening and now it seems to be worse. Now I went 15 minutes away from home to get some groceries and during this 15 minute drive I only knew how fast I was going 1 time and even then it seemed the gauge was not accurate and rarely moved when I excelerated or slowed down. Also when slowing down at a stop sign or stop light the speedometer would slowly go to 0 but would not hit 0 until I began to move again. Today also all of a sudden the service engine light came on as well during this little thing.
Any help anyone can give me would be great. I drive 4 kids on a daily bases in this dang thing and I just dont need to be stranded somewhere one day. My husband doesn't know jack about cars so I am turning to you all in hopes someone has some knowledge of what the heck is going on with my P.O.S.C....
