Hi,

If everything stopped at once, it sounds like an electrical issue. Looking through the wiring schematics, there are three fuses I need you to check. In addition to just checking the fuse, confirm there is power to it.

Here is a link to help:

If you look at pic 1, it shows the fuses that power the instrument panel. Pic 2 shows the locations of the fuses.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions. Also, let me know if there are any other electrical components not working.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
