Intermittent instrument clusters working. Today battery wont hold a charge
 

1999 Plymouth Voyageur. 3.3 L, FWD, 300k+ km. Last winter the instrument cluster stopped working, started again in the spring. It quit again a month ago. Replaced the cluster with the same result. Yesterday, I left the door open for about ten minutes (interior lights on and engine not running) needed a boost. Today the van stopped running while driving (battery died). Headlights, radio and fan on. Had the van towed home

Battery is about a year old. Tested three times and it is "ok".

Is this a ground issue? Do I need an alternator? Another computer?

Any thoughts?

Help!

Oh yes, the computer said "Code 771-775. Battery terminals are clean btw

Unrelated. Those codes are TCM transmission codes.

And P Code 1698
