Iv'e got a 99 Ram 318. It will die with no warning or pattern. It may go a day,a week ,or a month between times. When it dies , the dash goes dead too. All the gauges go flat and lights go out. The starter will turn. But no spark. Any ideas PLEASE. THANKS, Curt

When it dies it will still turn over w the key? Under the dash I'd check the various connections in the harness at the ign sw, ammeter, the fuse box etc & pull apart the connectors looking for the wire that is loose/corroded. EDIT if it just only died I'd check the bulkhead 1st but w the dash lights going out also I'd go under the dash
