QuestionQUESTION: The dash instrument panel on my 97 Dakota has quit working (6 cyl. Sport). What are the most likely causes, and how are they resolved? Thanks.
ANSWER: possible fuses or the cluster it self is bad.

QUESTION: Thank you for your response. Fuses & cluster have been replaced and problem remains. What other causes are in play? I would bring the truck to you, but the distance between does not make that possible. Wish I had a Chilton manual! Thanks again.
