The battery went dead on me and after a jump start the dash light isn't on anymore. Has anyone had this problem? Did the jump start burned the dash instrumentation?

 

Did you by any chance connect the terminals the other way around?

If you did, then you blew your main fuse, and NOTHING in the car will run. If its something else, then check the rest of the fuses, if all are fine, then try and reset the ECU by pulling the fuse.

 

Everything else work and the car start up. Its not my car, father in-law car. he had a mechanic jump with a battery jumper. I wasn't there, but ask him did he saw any spark while the guy gave the jump. Nothing out of the ordinary that he saw. The car is in CA so I can't get there to check out what's wrong yet.
