Dead instrument cluster

Hey guys The battery on my 02 bought the farm this morning. It was from the prior owner so I am assuming it was pretty old. I got a new battery and hooked it up, but for some bizarre reason the gauge cluster appears to be dead.

I pulled all of the fuses under the panel to the right of the gauge cluster and all looked good. I even went as far as going through and swapping them with a brand new fuse. Still no luck.

Are there any other fuse panels in the bike and if not can anyone get me pointing to a starting point for trouble shooting?

Thanks!

Correction... With the sun going down, I realized the lights for the dash are still working but the gauges (Temp, speedo, fuel etc...) are blank. The nuetral, FI and high beam indicator lights are fine as well.

I got to the back of the panel and pulled the plug. I'm going to see if I have some electrical cleaner and a bit of dielectric grease. Is there any downside to using the dialectric grase on this fitting? I have used it on most electrical plugs without issue but there is a lot going on here.

EDIT: the clock is faintly blinking 1:00

 

No luck on the plug. Cluster fried?

 

Had me going there for a minute, what fuse panel up by the cluster...... you posted in the Gen5 section, fuse panels are under the seat. LOL. Anyway, hope you get to the root of it.

 

LOL... thanks. Totally postes in the wrong place! sorry about that!
