While driving there was a fire in the engine compartment. A couple of days before the fire, engine check light came on. After the ignition was turned off, on a couple of times, a code 12 was displayed on the instrument panel. A mechanic from the dealership stated that the code meant the battery was disconnected. Vehicle has been totalled.
When turning on the truck or driving down the road the instrument cluster goes dead. Dodge dealer has replaced the instument cluster, dash wiring harness and an engine controll module. I have also had to replace the battery because the problem burned it out twice. $2000 and mounting. Another part on order. 5th time to dealer.
Instrument panel goes to zero, /completely out, including speedometer. Driver cannot tell how fast vehicle is traveling. Potential for crash, vehicle with dealer for inspection/repair.
