1998 Voyager Oil Light & Gas Gauge

Here we go again. I thought that the Gremlins in the Gauges disappeared when spring and warm weather came. But the cold weather is back, and the gauges (idiot lights) are acting up again. Gas Gauge: Worked fine all summer. Last night I filled the tank for the first time in a month. Started the car and the gauge showed "E" and the gas light and warning chime came on. Drove a few miles and the gauge needle bounced around and the light and chime came on intermittantly. Oil Gauge: Worked fine all summer. About five miles after the fill-up, the oil light came on-and-off, with the warning chime. Today, I noticed that the oil light and chime came on only after the car warmed up and only below 1100 RPM. The Gas Gauge continues to misbehave. I did the hold-trip-and-reset-buttons/ignition-key routine and got what seemed a normal cluster test sequence. I did the ignition key-on-off-on-off routine and the "Check Engine Soon" light blinked out the following sequence: 1-2-4-2-5-5. Anybody have any ideas what that sequence means... and just what is going on here?? Thanks, Kit

Code 12 means the battery's been disconnected once during the last 50 key on/off cycles

Code 42 means a lot of things:

-Autoshut-down (ASD) relay control circuit -- open or short detected in the ASD relay circuit.

-No ASD relay output voltage at the PCM -- open condition detected in the ASD relay output circuit.

-Fuel pump relay control circuit -- open or short detected in the fuel pump relay control circuit.

-Fuel level sending unit voltage too low -- open circuit between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit.

-Fuel level sending unit voltage too high -- circuit shorted to voltage between PCM and fuel gauge sending unit.

- No movement of the fuel level sending unit detected over miles.

Code 55 means end of codes.

I don't but I'd start looking for bad instrument panel grounds.
