Fluke or ignition switch ?

History ..... I had the car on the dyno the other day. 1999 automatic vert. I've been to this tuner numerous times over the years and it seems like he does a nice job. I drove the car in and the cluster worked perfectly. The 6 years I've owned the car I've never had a cluster issue. After 3 hours of tuning I looked at the oil pressure and noticed it read 0. Then I noticed all the gauges were off. I immediately pointed it out and he said it did that once before during a previous tuning session. Two days later I've still got no cluster but the radio and door switches still work.

Question ...... Is it possible I'm suddenly/coincidencely experiencing the normal C5 ignition switch problems or is it possible something in the tune effected my cluster ? It would be nice to get the general consensus before I start pulling stuff apart.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery yet? That happened to me when tuning and would only clear after disconnecting battery.

I will definitely say a little prayer then try that. It just got on seasonably hot so I haven't done anything yet.

Excellent! It was worth a shot that it was similar to what happened to mine. Now go enjoy it!

Same thing happens to mine only when my friend uses his hp tuners.
Disconnect the battery everything is back to normal.

Only happens with his version of hp tuners...not others...weird.
