It's a Plymouth Voyager, of course, and made in '95.

Same thing this evening. The battery is 5 years old.
Unless there is a simple solution, this might be the last straw for this car that has been a problem for me this past year, but an excellent reliable car for the over 14 years. Any simple suggestions? Could it be the battery?
I'm not a mechanic but I have seen where resetting the onboard computer sometimes fixes an unusual problem. Try disconnecting the negative battery cable from the battery and leave it like that for at least an hour or more - overnight if you want to. This will reset the computer to the factory defaults. I can't say that it will cure the headlight problem but it's a free way to try.
If this doesn't fix the problem look in your owner's manual or the inside lid of your fuse box and locate the headlight fuse(s). Remove it while you're at work for a temporary fix.
Thanks.
All of the gauge lights have quit working ?
The gauges themselves still work normal as do the idiot lights. The gear selector PRND3L still lights & so does the clock & radio. I have checked the fuse for the dash lites and it is fine. The brightness dial also works.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks, JAY
when i turn the ignition all i get is a squeal from the starter relay. so i thought it would be the problem and i replaced it. after that i got a sound like putting the back of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and breathing out. so i replaced the starter and still the same things. the battery has a full charge and is working great i had it tested. i cant figure this out at all its driving me nuts someone please help
Some other causes could be a loose or corroded connection between the alternator and battery or ground.
I believe places like AutoZone still offer a free check of your charging system but if it's acting up intermittently it might be difficult to pinpoint. Is the tension okay on the serpentine belt?
Thanks again )
Please let me know what your problem was tracked to.
Thanks!
I first noticed the horn was not operating, but then realized the cruise controls are also non-functional. I assume there is a common ground issue, I expect a quick check with a continuity meter will confirm, but where is the best place to test?
Thanks!

Every now and then all my gages go dead and my SBS lights on the panel. I am fairly certain it is the computer.
Almost always it happens when I first start the van . Once however they went deal when I hit a big bump.
Most of the times if I restart the van they start working however it seems that has stopped. Now it is a hot or miss if they work or not.
Do you think I might have a loose connection on the computer?
Exactly where is the computer located and how can I get to it?
Any and all suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
In your case, the fix that usually cures such problems is to remove the instrument cluster and take a hot soldering iron and "touch" each solder point for a moment or two, thus re-liquefying the solder and then re-setting it. Based upon the posts that I've read here and on other automotive related web sites, this "fix" is roughly 80% effective on the first try.
Keep us posted.

It seams the horn will start to honk for no reason. Not: honk honk honk but rather one long continuous: Hooooooooooooooooooooooooonk! It usually happens after bad rain. Last time AAA pulled the fuse for him. He pushed it back in the next morning and it was fine.
He does not have keyless entry nor an alarm.
Is this thing possessed? Ideas?

Head lights work. turn signals work. horn works. stop lights work.
Need help, Thank you very much. Art.
I have no idea if this is your problem, but my 2000 Voyager had similar issues. It continued to run fine, but all my gauges, windshield wipers, radio, etc. stopped working while I was driving home. As it turned out, these vehicles have a safety feature built in, when the battery is dying. It shuts down all non-essential things (I still don't see how they figure the speedometer is non-essention) so those things don't drain the battery more and the vehicle will continue to run. We replaced the battery and everything was fine. I don't, however, recall if the lights started flashing before they went off. Maybe this is your issue. I hope this helps.
