SOURCE: 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager instrument cluster problem
There has been issues with the solder joints on the PIN connection to the gauge cluster. The issue being that over time thru vibration and such one of these solder joints will fail (happened on or 1999) you can repair this though. You will have to remove all of the trim from around the driver's side dash board, this will include the trim towards the center of the dash. Once these pieces are remove you'll need to remove the gauge panel (I believe (4) allen head screws) carefully bring the panel and release the wire clip from it. Looking at the back of the panel, where the plug was, carefully with plenty of light look for one of the pins to have a failed solder joint. It will be very faint however the failed joint will be a fine dark line around the pin. To correct use a small soldering iron and reheat this solder until it wants to flow, let it cool and reassemble.
As I fore mentioned I had the exact same issue as you are describing, our is a 99. The most tricky part is the dash, take your time with it.
I hope this may have assited you,
Tom
SOURCE: how to remove altenator for 1999 Plymouth Grand
Before the step-by-step instructions I want to make sure this is the Alternator that needs to be replaced and not something else. This will save you money for an Alternator you don't need and save you time for replacing a good alternator.
Start the vehicle. With the engine running - disconnect the Negative Cable from the Battery. If the Engine dies - it is the Alternator. If it doesn't die - it is not the Alternator. I have had plenty of people who have replaced perfectly good Alternators only to find out it was something else.
Step-by-step:
1. Disconnect the Negative Cable from the Battery.
2. Using a 15mm closed end wrench/bar - Rotate the Belt Tensioner towards the front of the vehicle and remove the Surpentine Belt off the Alternator. You do not have to take it completely off the vehicle.
3. Remove the bolt holding the top of the Alternator Mounting Bracket to the Engine Air Intake.
4. Remove the bolts (plural) holding the outside of the Alternator Mounting Bracket to the Alternator Mounting Plate.
5. Remove the bolt holding the top of the Alternator to Alternator Mounting Bracket.
6. Remove the Alternator Mounting Plate.
7. Remove the the Altenator Mouting Bracket.
8. Rotate the Alternator towards the rear.
9. Discoonect the electrical connections (plural), including the nut holding the wire on.
10. Remove the lower Pivot bolt located at the bottom of the alternator.
11. Remove the alternator.
12. Installation is reverse of above.

This seems to be relatively common. The solder on the main connector has cracked. Take out the panel and redo the solder joints on the connector.

It sounds like the connection to the cluster is not making good contact.
