Message Center not working

Here I am getting ready to leave on a long weekend, turn the key and no message center. Engine starts fine but no gauges. Checked all the fuses I could find, front passenger, rear engine bay, swapped a bunch of relays but no success. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Try turning off the master power switch to the coach, wait a minute and then turn it back on, and try again. Sometime the brains get fried and need resetting.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I think I found the problem, it seems that while I was installing a bus bar in my battery compartment, I drilled holes into an item called a VCM or vehicle control module, this controls all of the gauges and warning lights on the dash, I cant see where I damaged the circuit board but I did nick it in a couple areas, going to have to order order one, two to three weeks, not a happy camper.

Yeah, those drill bits will do a number on electronics and things related to them. It's important to know what is on the other side of the thing you are drilling into so these things dont happen. The VCM is not cheap.
