I hope this isn't your problem, but I have a 2004 Dodge Durango that had
some kind of dash fire at some time.
The vehicle would always run and drive, but the dash had a continuous and
amusing series of failures for a long time. The entire dash would go black,
then come back, over and over like a computer stuck on a reboot loop. The
climate control would randomly go off, then reappear.
I got it cheap because the OBD port wasn't working so the vehicle couldn't
get an e-test.
Eventually I got it all sorted out, give or take.
But I hope that isn't your problem.
