Flashed TD jukebox/multimap bundle to engine ECU. No problems. Tried to flash TD cluster flash, halfway through the gauge shut off, the flash aborted, and it threw code "U0155-00 (08) LCD Gauge Communication Lost."

This is the second time I've flashed the ECU and cluster, and it worked fine the first time. I did the fuel pump upgrade, so that's why I needed to do the reflash today. The other difference between this time and the last is that I now have the anti-lag button and associated harness installed. Sled ran fine with it installed.

I tried reflashing the dash, no dice. It aborts each time. Tried reflashing the ECU, that did nothing for the dash cluster. Sled turns on, but gauge is completely off.

Disconnected the battery for ~30 seconds, that did nothing. Anyone else have this problem? I'll obviously be on the phone with TD tomorrow, but this is fairly frustrating.
 
Check the accessory fuse.
When my heated shield cable shorted out and blew the fuse my cluster went blank as well.
 
I think most people lost this function after the dash flash. Same problem here.

Most people's dashes completely stopped working during the cluster flash? That doesn't sound right... The first time I flashed the cluster it worked fine. My dash is now completely dark--it doesn't turn on at all.

Thanks will do. Do you think the fuse can blow during a flash? That's when my problem occurred, during the flash. Gauge won't turn on at all now.

Edit: Also, I believe the accessory, dash, and taillight share a fuse. My taillight works, so the fuse may be good. I'll check it tonight though. Thanks.

Problem fixed. Battery voltage was too low for the cluster flash to take, even though it was high enough for the engine ECU to flash and start the sled. I had been testing/running the sled on my stand numerous times over the last month draining the battery voltage. Had a friend throw a charger on it while I was at work, got home ~5 hours later, checked voltage (13+), and the cluster reflash took right away. Dash is back on, functionality is there, and all appears well!

Huge thanks to @Turbo Dynamics and @GAP Innovation for troubleshooting the issue with me today. These guys provide great products and excellent service! Very pleased I went with TD on this tune.
