gauges stopped working
hey guys,
the other day i noticed that my gauges werent lighting up and nothing was working (rpm gauge, mph, gas, mileage, etc). the car ran fine but i didnt know how fast i was going or anything. even at night the radio lights are really dim.
anyone have any ideas how to fix this ? i tried disconnecting the negative on my battery to reset the ecu but it still doesnt work.
Thanks is advance

nope no deck. and ive had the subs for over a year so i dont think that could be the problem. but my one friend said maybe the battery is dying and it has to sacrifice some stuff to keep the car running. i dunno if thats a possibility or not

if your a newbie, save ur self the time from doing it your self and just go to the dealer. Otherwise check your fuses ( look in the manual ) and it wont be ur battery like someone said because ur car wouldn't start.

Update
ok update everyone i brought it to the dealer and they had my car for 2 days and replaced my whole gauge cluster under warranty for free. everything works again, but now however my mileage was reset to 0. does anyone know the legality of this if i plan on selling my car in the future and the odometer isnt accurate ? is there any way that i can calibrate the odometer to the correct # ? i asked the dealer but they said no. thoughts ?

i asked them about it and they said they couldnt do anything about recalibrating it. they just said they have records of the mileage before bringing it in so theyll add it to my current mileage. blah
