Some Dodge Magnum owners report experiencing intermittent issues with dashboard lights and gauges dropping to zero while driving, which may be linked to problems with the Front Control Module (FCM) or the Integrated Power Module (IPM). These issues can manifest randomly, often triggered by hitting a bump or while idling at a red light, causing dashboard lights to flicker and gauges to fluctuate. Some drivers have noted that all dashboard lights illuminate and automatic headlights turn off without any impact on the vehicle's performance. Additionally, there have been reports of dashboard gauges dropping to zero, all warning lights activating, and potential effects on the heat blower. In certain cases, dashboard and headlights may flicker off and on, even when the switch is off, and the vehicle may attempt to shut down multiple times while all lights are illuminated. Instrument clusters have been reported to reset themselves while driving, resembling a vehicle startup, and issues with flickering lights have led to component replacements like the headlight switch. Furthermore, a malfunctioning Body Control Module (BCM) can contribute to these dashboard gauge problems. It is recommended that owners seek professional diagnosis to address these concerns and ensure safe driving.
