Are the gauges completely out, or are they just REALLY dim? If the backlights are out they will be VERY hard to read. It may be dead bulbs or dirty bulb contacts. Also, have you checked the contacts on the LCD panels? When I first got my 87.5 CGT, I had 2 panels with dead backlightds and 1 where the LCD would come and go. It was all due to dirty (coroded?) contacts...
