I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a 5.2 motor. It has
developed this intermittent problem where first the ABS and Air Bag
warning lights will come on. Then the Low Fuel indicator and the
Check Engine light come on and the odometer reads No bus or No bu5.
It is hard to read. Finally, all of the instruments go dead. The
truck continues to run fine. Then it will go back to normal. I
recently replaced the Head Light Dimmer switch but it was a while
before the problem arose. We have changed the Speed Sensor on the
rear differential but that did nothing. Help!

Had a similar problem on my 2001 T&C. Turned out that the little orange
ground wire to the battery was not making contact and caused the
problem. I cleaned it and carefully reconnected it, problem solved.
May be worth a look.
