(g37x sedan 2013) basically had the car parked over the weekend and the battery died 100% not even a signal of life. got it jumped and it took quite a while but the car is running but now the dashboard is completely out. the only light that is working is the seatbelt and the battery and airbag light during initial startup. (red security light is also working.) none if the gauges are working, no other lights no nothing. i checked both the meter fuses and theyre also both good.

 

There are quite a few fuses involved. In the box near the driver's left knee check 3, 4, 7, 11 & 19. At the battery the big one is "C" (but if that was blown a lot of things wouldn't work.). And in the IPDM fuses 50 & 51 are involved. I hope the answer is that simple.

 

okay bet i only tried the two meter fuses. im gonna change the battery on the car and if that doesnt help im gonna check all the other fuses

 

okay i changed the battery, no fix. i checked every fuse u mentioned AND MORE. everyone of them tests for continuity... no fix

 

Sorry to hear that wasn't it. The fact that it happened after a jump causes some concern for your car's many black box processors. Specifically, the "Unified Meter and AC Amp." which is located behind the radio panel and basically drives the gauges. Have you been working back there at all? Is the AC system working ok? Here is a link to the pertinent Factory Service Manual which describes the system:

i actually have worked on the ac module. i was fixing the comonly known fuel gauge problem, this was about a year and a half ago, i put in a new module. i thought it was the issue so i went ahead and changed it out with my old one, and still didnt change a thing. and no ac issues. also i noticed just a few days ago that the ambient lights on my center dash around all the buttons and volume **** also arent working. im going to an electrician tommorow to get it checked out, maybe there is a lose harness or something, not sure. hopefully he doesnt charge a fortune
