1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jul 17, 2015 · Electrical · 100,000 miles · WA

The dash panel dies and the ABS light turns on followed by the check engine light due to the computer throwing a code. I have removed the dash panel three times and found the problem is at the female plug on the back of the panel, by using a wiggle test. The dealer wanted $250.00 for what they claimed only had on circuit panel when I knew better. It has two. I repaired it by using a strong zip tie to hold the plug up. This worked for years. Now it's the same old problem but it is no longer on and off depending on the temp.of the inside of the vehicle. It is 100% dead so now here I go again. Take the dash apart and try to get it to function. I use my GPS for milage, speed, and fuel. That and a USB light made for a pc. I have delt with the faulty tenshioner and serpentine belt problem twice. Now it is all the relays from heat burnt out. It started with the starter relay and went south. Tail lights and so on.

Dashboard instrument panel keeps coming on and going off, ABS light comes on then the instrument panel goes off. Speed is unknown, amount of gas is unknown, oil, etc. This is ridiculous in the fact that so many have been complaining about it and the company still hasn't recalled the vehicles to have this issue fixed. Yes I may have a 1998 plymouth voyager, but I don't feel that because of the incompetence that this company has that I should have to shell out money to have it figured out and repaired. I understand normal wear and tear but this is not normal (for other vehicles, obviously very normal for this one in general). The strangest thing is, if the vehicle is warmed up from the sun, the panel seems to work, the majority of the time, where I live it doesn't work, and I have to guesstimate everything. How is this safe?!?!

Applied brakes on steep driveway and pedal suddenly went to the floor. Experienced greatly reduced braking capability. Found steel brake line failed due to corrosion (rust through) where it connects to braided steel section just aft of the ABS proportioning unit. Plan on having it repaired next week. 1998 plymouth grand voyager.

My entire instrument panel suddenly quit working and my check engine light and ABS light are always on. The wipers start on their own whenever they like and I have to manually time when I turn them off because the wipers will not return to the bottom on their own.

There is no particular event that triggers the following problems: the instrument cluster / controller is defective. The gauges fail constantly. The ABS light stays on which I believe is related to the clock-spring recall, and the speedometer, odometer, tachometer,fuel gages stop working. I read an article in a forum that said disconnect the battery because it was a problem with the ecu. It seems resetting the ecu did fix the problem temporarily. So each time it happens that how I fix it. A recall for the defective ecu may be in order. I have read many articles with people with this same issue. (2) the leds for the A/C, heating and rear wipers don't work. They just blink. I have found that if you drive long enough, they start working usually non-stop driving for over an hour.

While driving 30 MPH or more the ABS and the "check engine" lights illuminated simultaneously. The condition caused the instrument gauges and the power door locks to be inoperative. The vehicle has been to the dealer on three separate occasions. They replaced three difference sensors and a module and the problem keeps recurring. *jb
