Question 1998 LS400 Instrument Panel Lights and Gauges are Dead

Please help ... I need some advice!!!

I ran down my battery by leaving a light on (1998 LS400). I slowly charged my battery with a charger. But when I started the car, my instrument panel was dark and the gauges/needles do not move.

Any Thoughts?

Thanks,
LS driver

Disconnect the battery and then reconnect it , also make sure the dimmer is not down.

I know it's 12 years later, but this advice is timeless! worked on my 1998 LS400, after the mechanic spent hours checking fuses, looking for bad wiring... I'm a genius. Thanks.

Bet that made your day! I find that most times it is something simple (in every area of my life).
