No speedometer or gas gauge, no radio, I cant tell how fast I'm going or how much fuel I have. Just looking for an answer. O'Reilly's says the wiring to the computer is fried, I'm not thinking so.
New models (2002 onwards) can not be jump started they have to be trickle charged off a battery. will say this in the manual. jump starting off another car can damage the electrics. you will off blown the fuse's in the control unit.... the unit will need to opened and the fuse checked and replaced these are soldered fuse's. wiring should be fine.

I think I know what is wrong.....
Tale off the fuse box cover under the hood, and look for the heavy wire on the side closest to the steering wheel, with a bolt/nut on the end connecting it to the fuse box assembly. AFTER DISCONNECTING the battery, take off the bolt and remove the wire. There should be a flat washer about one-inch across on the end of the wire. Thoroughly clean off any corrosion on the bottom of this washer with heavy sandpaper, and also clean off the plate the washer makes contact with on the fuse box assembly. Clean off any sand, replace the washer and and tighten the bolt firmly. Reconnect the battery.
Corrosion on this washer/plate causes a poor electrical connection which shuts off power to everything, sometimes for a fraction of a second, sometimes for longer. It can vary based on temperature and humidity, and gets worse once it starts.

The plug at the back of the panel has come lose.Remove the dash panel and push plug on firmly.Hope that was helpfull.
SOURCE: The lights on my dash board flicker on and off then turn off.
I had the same problem some time ago, lights would go on and off, odometer appeared to stop counting at times rpm gauge would work and then not... power steering would off and on work and head lights would blink on and off when in driving light mode (off position).. The fix for me was I had to have the dash computer replaced (about $500). After doing this around 50k miles ago all the gremlins seem to have remained gone.. Hope this helps
