Default Radio and gauges stopped working. I need help please

So I'm leaving my bros house on x-mas when I relize my radio wont come on, I check for any idiot lights and relize my gauges wont work. Well my Battery voltage and oil pressure gauge works but nothing else. First thing i did was check fuses and replaced them with new ones and still nothing. I didn't change all the fuses but just the gauges and radio one on the side of the dash, should I change all of them? Any help will be good.

This is on a stock '02 A4 Formula.

i would definitely pull every fuse in the car and make sure they are all good. I had a similar issue a year ago on my Camaro. Buddy of mine found a fuse that i missed previously.

I've found that those little fuse testers are very useful in situations like this. It's much easier to test with the fuse in place than to pull them out and replace them. The testers are often included when you buy one of those multi-fuse packages.

Yes, thats what I ended up doing, lol. It turned out to be a random 15amp fuse.
