Default Gauges dont work?!?! WTF.....HELP!!

Was on the way home and all of a sudden all the gauges stopped working and my nitrous switches wouldnt work either? Checked the fuses and they seem fine....any ideas? MY entire instrument panel is DEAD...nothing is reading, but my turn signals work fine and my dome light is fine, the radio works fine as well. So who knows......Thanks....

Replace your GAUGES (#9) fuse. Just because it looks okay doesn't mean it's not blown.

I agree. That definitely sounds like a fuse problem. Assuming everything else is working ok, I'd take WhiteBird00's advice.

Look in your owners manual. There is a figure in there of the main fuse block and shows you which fuse is where.

Always check the fuses first. I learned this the hardway. Glad you got it fixed.
