2005 max A/C all of sudden doesnt work, along with gauges

any ideas?
i just got it today, all of a suddren, my gauges dont work (they light up when i start the car, then go dim, but none of them move at all) and my brake, abs, slip, and couple others lights are on

also my blinkers and A/c dont work

i checked the fuses under the steering wheel but no luck...

any ideas? realllyyy frustrating :-/

Sounds like the display control unit may be bad or someone has worked on the radio section of the dash and did not plug everything back in.

If you just got it today then i say take it right back to where you got it and have them repair it or give you your money back and don't be afraid to treathen with a lawyer if they give you a hard time. I'm in the car business so take it from me they got your money so make sure you get a proper product. how many miles on the car and did you get any type of warranty.

yeah everything works fine

UPDATE:

ok i just took it to nissan, the guy checked it out and brought me this box with change wiggling in it lol

he said it was the "unified meter amp" and it got shorted when the change fell in there somehow

said it would be about 600 with parts and labor

i got the part number as well, anyone know where its at and if its easy to install? and where i can buy it?

Unified Meter Amp
277607X01B i believe is the part number

thanks
