so the ecu is in the front of the car the car wasn`t hit that hard that i think it would have lost a connection in the ECU. Isn`t the speed sensor on the back wheel? Could that be the issue? How would that affect the RPM`s

maybe something got pinched causing a short? I forgot which fuse is for the gauges.

I would venture to guess that it deals with the sensor telling the ECU/BCU what the RPM/Speed is. I would also check the fuses, but I would think the whole dash itself wouldn't work, rather than just 2 gauges on the cluster.
