Default Instruments (not LCD) failure?

Today I noticed my the fuel and temp gauge stopped working. Also, the LCD display would only show outside temp. I checked the fuses and reset the ECU (by pulling the batter cables and connecting them together to drain system memory). No change.

Later this afternoon, I took the car out for a ride and now I have NO tach, speedo, temp, fuel gauge and the cluster displays only outside air temp.

I pulled the cluster to make sure the connections were good and left the key in the aux position for 25 min - saw that tip on the forum. NO CHANGE.

So now I HAVE NO SPEEDO, TACH, FUEL GAUGE, TEMP GAUGE, TRIP COMPUTER - WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EXTERNAL AIR TEMP AND THE ODO WON'T READ MILES.

Thinking the cluster is gone? Will VAGCOM Lite diagnose the problem? HELP!

Not sure, but scan anyway with VAGCOM because it's always a good idea.

You might have some solder broken.

Maybe pull the cluster and check your contacts.

Check some fuses as well.
