    RPM gauge and Computer

    at the paint shop they were having trouble with my battery so they had to disconnect it and do some things with it. now the RPM gauge isnt working and my trip computer wont turn on. ive already put in the radio code and got all that working fine, but how do i get the computer back on and does anyone know why my rpm gauge isnt working?

    thanks

    Cluster board might have gone bad coincidentally. Try swapping another cluster in or replacing your SI batteries. Is the econometer gauge working?

        if the Tach and eci gauge do not work then the avg mpg will not be calculated

            You prob. burnt the OBC backlight too. That's the easiest part to fix if you're describing it right.

              Check one of the fuses. If you have the manual or a bentley's, there's a list in there. There is a fuse that operates both of those.

                  Check fuses 10 and 21.
                  No code for the OBC. I think there's only one to lock it.

                        I'm not sure how to set that stuff. I have the 6 button OBC in my car. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Maybe someone else will tap in.
