Hi Guys,

I have a FX35 2008 yesterday while driving the dashboard froze in place. Speedometer, gas gauge, temp needles were stuck and no display for gear selector and odometer. I got home pulled the battery and plugged it back in this brought all the needles back to 0 but nothing showed up on dashboard. I think its a fuse issue but could not locate which fuse. Also weird thing I was testing the fuses in the battery compartment all were okay, the fuses near the dead pedal did not seem to work (test did not light up) but interior lights, tail lights, head lights... all are working, radio and other items inside all working no problem. Got me stumped.

Questions for those smarter than me:
1. Does anyone know which fuse handles the dash and where is it located.
2. Any idea why when testing the fuses inside they do not test correctly. I do not think anything is wrong with them but stumped as to why the tester (and I tried 2 of them) is not lighting up to show they are okay.
 
In the 2nd gets its inside. It's weird that the fuses try didn't work, as if it didn't have power. Try tracing up the line and investigate the power loss.
 
On the inside fuses I see power to the two connectors anything beyond i.e. fuses nothing lights up when testing. Tomorrow I am going to try unplugging and reseting those connectors what stumps me is if no power to fuses I should see a ton of stuff not working not just the gauges and gear selector odometer lights.... really weird And it happened while driving fine when I started.
 
Tested all fuses and connectors and all looks okay. Now my cluster panel stopped working and even back light does not turn on. I am going to post on a separate thread on this one as I do not think its fuses rather probably wires going to cluster.
