Intermittent loss of all dashboard indicator lights and gauges. Electric door locks will not work. Sometimes all malfunctions will clear themselves, sometimes I must slap the top of the dashboard with my hand several times to clear the malfunction. I have only seen this with vehicle in motion and on all roads.

While driving, the instrument cluster will go blank. Instruments: gas gauge, temperature, and speedometer needles will go to zero. Digital readouts go blank. Normal function returns usually in minutes and sometimes faster if I hit the dashboard with my hand. My research indicates this to be a significant problem with numerous year models of dodge minivans. This issue is described as a computer communication problem caused by faulty connections in the instrument cluster that interrupt the connections between the three onboard computers. When the power goes out to the dash, indicating a connection problem, will my airbags still work? The error code for this malfunction is: p1698.

Driving down road as usual and all the dash components went down I hit a bump and they came back up or if I slap the top of it they will come back on. I like knowing how much gas I have,how fast I'm going or even if I'm overheating. And I do carry a disabled person plus my self so we depend on this everyday.
