Default gauges and cluster lights not working - need advice

Hey i have a 350z 03 and i drove around all day no problems and got home when in and came back out and noticed my speed hand and gas hand and rpm and was not working at all and would not light up. I called nissan to ask them and they wouldnt tell me any thing just that it would be 100 bucks just to look at it. So i thalt i might be just a fuse or something so any ideals please help cause i dont want to spend a 100 bucks just to have it checked out thanks.

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like

Squeaking brakes

instead of

Help

Need help immediately


or

If you don't help right away I will die!

Default Gauges

All gauge info is controlled by the ac amp module located under the radio. Tach from the ecm, speedo from wheel sensors, fluid levels, oil press & amp direct from those sensors. The lighting cont from the bcm. All these controls go through the ac amp module, this includes the triple gauges above the center console & ofcourse the controls for the ac. Used ac amps on eBay go for about 75-100 dollars. 03-05 the same, 06 different (same gauge control) but ac control abit different. For the 370Z all the inputs go directly to the main gauge cluster not the ac amp. Hope that helps.
