Didn't find anything wrong. It hasn't done it again since, but I noticed the fuel gauge going from a half tank, what was in there, to between an eighth and empty. All that fuel stuff is stock. 322,000 miles

Just noticed another new post with a similar situation on a 03 Dodge. sounds like a start relay or something. Let me see if I can trace it out.

Here are some PDF files on the instrument cluster wiring. I would say you have a loose connection somewhere around the junction block or a ground issue.

Messed with some connections and I have a significant oil leak, seems like oil got in some connections and made them not work. Seems to have done the job. Time to diagnose the leak. I feel like the oil pan and tappet cover gasket are bad
