    Hi
    At first I lost the ability to enter the EVIC to change language, so I took off the cable to the battery for a few minutes, then put it back on, the EVIC works now,I have lost the power for the gauges, I have panel lights, but the speed,rev,temp and fuel needles do not move, I removed the instrument cluster to unplug and plug back the 3 connections on the instrument cluster bu that did not work, everything else works in the car,tried looking for a fuse, cannot see one in the list, any ideas

    The EVIC does show all readings RPM'S SPEED everything

    It was not fuse 14,17 or 29 I unplugged the cluster again to double check the plugs,all ok no loose wires, however I did notice a chime when I plugged the left plug back in which happned when the battery was dead, thought nothing of it till I charged the battery and unplugged it to reboot the system, it only happens wwhen I unplug the power to the cluster or battery, it chimes for a few seconds and goes away, I look at last chime in EVIC and it says warning, maybr because the door and trunk were open, no fault codes using emotion scan tool

    GAUGES
    All gauges receive battery current through the EMIC circuitry only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start
    positions. With the ignition switch in the Off position battery current is not supplied to any gauges, and the EMIC
    circuitry is programmed to move all of the gauge needles back to the low end of their respective scales. Therefore,
    the gauges do not accurately indicate any vehicle condition unless the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
