Hey everyone. So long story short, left the key in the ON position, with a jump box hooked up to the battery and ended up frying my MSD ignition and apparently some of my gauges.

Ignition has been replaced and the car is now running. The following gauges are now not working: gas, water temp, digital HUD. My tachometer does still work fine.

My assumption is that I fried/blew something. So far, I have checked all fuses, which seem fine. I have also, to the best of my ability, checked the fuse box under the dash with a multi-meter to determine if they are receiving power, which they all were.

My questions are, where should I even start? What things would have been likely to break, that would cause those three gauges not to work? Should I just remove the whole dash to inspect? Just not sure where to start diagnosing the issue.

Thanks!
