(P1681) This code came up because the gauge cluster stopped communicating with the PCM. You can look around yourself first. Check for blown fuses. A bad alternator could surge the system. Damaged wire could have caused a short. A related component could be defective and affecting the PCM or Gauge cluster. If you have questions please feel free to write back.

SOURCE: 2003 Avalanch fuel gage

You have a problem with the stepper motor gauge that Chevy used in the 02-06? Avalanche. All the gauges use the same stepper motor. They just go wonky and do all kinds of weird things. I have replaced two on mine already and two more are now acting up. There is a guy selling the motors and the repair for this problem on E-bay.

They are two most common problems with this vehicle that will cause it to do this 1 bad distributor and the other bad MAIN relay. I need you to check for spark and gas when this vehicle does not start, contact if you need help checking when you figured out whats missing when you fail to start I will give you the answer, Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: Lights started flickering battery light came on Dash lights and gages went crazy now wont start

Like you said, battery may be flat. You can check that with a multimeter.

Next check the alternator. Faulty alternator leads to uncharged battery.

Seems that the fuel pump quit, check for fuel pressure, check for spark in the plugs and the fuel filter.

SOURCE: 2003 BMW 325xi won't start, dashboard and radio go on.

My 2003 325xi died on the highway a few weeks ago, and I thought it was the battery. It turned out to be the alternator, which was an expensive problem to repair. If your battery is new, it could be the alternator, or a problem with the electrical system. I find the BMWs to be too complicated electrically, which often leads to problems! I'd check your alternator...

04 pt cruiser wont wtart

Sounds as it you have an electrical short somewhere and a connection to the Power steering pump. Did you purchase any gas while going to store? Some under ground fuel tanks can get water into them this time of year especially. If it is flooded, it will not start. Hold gas pedal to floor for 15 seconds and release, then try to start. If it does, it could be as simple as an O2 sensor or Heater sensor causing the problem. Good Luck!!

2006 Ford F-350 6.0 power stroke will not start

Battery is dead, replace it. Just went through it on my Windstar sport- that's how Fords are supposed to operate if the battery is non functional. (click click click gauges up and down up and down up and down... yeah that's the problem no doubts.)

My speedo has not been working today all the other gages went out and after about 4 hours started working again

It sounds like the connection to your dash gage may have gone lose do to everyday vibration. If everything was running fine without any check engine or service engine soon, then it's your dash gage. Before your start your truck and the key'sare in the run possition, your gages should move up then down checking it's self. Keep a eye on that. Good luck. easy fix dubble check connection.

2003 Grand Dodge Caravan Will not turn over.

First thing I would have checked is the charging system, battery load test, alternator charging, all connections to battery cleaned & checked, as well as any ground straps connected from engine to frame, or firewall.
