Low power to dashboard?

I have a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan with about 130,000 miles on it. Tonight while I was driving home the ABS dash light came on. A little later I realized that none of my dashboard dials (temperature, speedometer, etc.) were working, altho all were lighted. The car seemed to drive fine and the lights and radio continued to work. What do you think might be causing this?

Update:

And how much might it cost me to fix whatever it is?

    Did you accidentally bump the light brightness control for the dash lights? As far as the ABS light coming on, it could be a number of things but if your brakes are working ok I woulnt worry about it, and if they are not take it somewhere and have it hooked onto a scanner[computer]

    Caravans have very common instrument cluster failures caused by cracked solder joints. It can cause a no start condition.

    Try to smack the dash and see if it starts to work.

    If you ever have a no start from this smacking the dash will bring it back to life
