checked fuses, etc, I assume???

does the car start and run?

Initial thought is something wrong with the ECU, but the tachometer is not driven off the ECU, and if the engine runs, but the tach does not, then the ecu might still be bad, but there is something else wrong as well...

I tried to reset the battery... The cats runs and drives great just that none of the needles read.. And the gear display doesn't show. All the lights light up tho ..that's why I'm stuck

There is also a plug that controls your dash odometer reading. Might be unplugged or bad harness. Not sure what the plug is called but it is located by your trans. Try search "odometer plug engine bay is300." It's illegal to unplug this plug cause it stops your odometer reading (if unplugged/damaged tach and speed needles don't work).
