Question Instrument Cluster - battery died,.... nothing works

I need someone to help me out.....

Last week some reason my battery went dead... following day I've recharged the battery and the car start just fine but the no light on whole instrument cluster except for the warning lights. At one point the needles flickered but that was it.

After doing some search, I've checked all the fuses and everything seems to be fine.

Did anyone here experienced similar problem???

And one more thing my tachameter isn't working either but I think this is AEM EMS related. Keep in mind that my SC3 is not a daily driver.

Thanks in advance...

Try removing the battery cable for about a minute.

I had to replace my battery and do this to reset things.

Worth a try.

Hey Bro,

The same thing happen to me when my battery terminals were loose, the battery was not recharging and the car ran out of juice. When the key was 1 click all the lights and everthing would work, but when i tried to start it the thing would lose all power and die. I charged the battery and tighten the terminals and it's good to go.

have you charged the battery or tried to jump the vehicle yet?

Sorry i read your post wrong.

Did you try to turn the adjustment **** on the left side and make sure it wasn't on the lowest setting? The only other thing would be a fuse.

You can test each fuse with a volt meter without pulling the fuses, this might be another option.
