gauge cluster DEAD. Problem fixed. Ignore.
I have a new problem. I just recently bought a 99 FRC. It came with a hypertech programmer. I tried plugging it in and lowering my fan temps. It got up to 99% ready and then said something like "calibration not found". From what I understand it means that sometime between when the programmer was bought and now, a GM dealer reprogrammed my car. Most likely for the column lock. The car now runs exactly the same as before the attempted tune but now the gauge or instrument cluster is dead. The only lights I have is Hi beams, blinkers, and Check engine. No speedo, tach, or anything else. The fuel gauge is frozen at 1/4 which is what is in the car. and battery is 12 volts. DIC, HUD or any of the buttons on the side of the cluster won't work. Just looks like a snapshot of what the cluster was reading while programming. Could this have blown a fuse, fried a computer, PLEASE HELP!!!

Sorry for the ranting and panic. While writing the previous thread I had disconnected the battery. When done I reconnected the battery and voila, everything is back to normal. Thank god.
