I have a 2011 Exige S 260 and the dash stopped working. When I turned the car off, everything was working. Now the Speedo, Tach and LCD display appears dead. The alarm lite in the dash works and everything else appears fine. The car will start and is drivable. The only thing that I did was put it on the lift to change the front sway bar setting.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eldon

Have you tried a cluster reset?

1) open door 2) hold reset button in 3) insert key into ignition, turning to II position quickly

I am not sure what you are referring to as the "Reset" button? Would you please be a little more descriptive?

The button right in front of your ignition (and the only one around).

See this reset thread. "sleepe" said it helped, but it took some driving cycles before his gauges returned to normal.

No luck on the cluster reset. Checked out the thread and noticed that he still had a Speedo and LCD display. I have neither of these and loss of tach.

Any other ideas?

Try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and stepping on the brake pedal. Check your fuses as well (I doubt that's the problem).

The traditional approach to this type of issue is to disconnect the battery for a few minutes... worth a shot


[edit] - beaten to the punch by san!

So that is typically how to reset a CEL or ECU. Stepping on the brake pedal is to bleed any residual voltage.

Fuse for an IC (intercooler)? Please elaborate.

Sorry, I see IC and I read that as intercooler. You probably don't read SAN as Storage Array Network, right?
