instrument panel at nav station blank

[sam]

Has anyone experienced their instrument panel(the one that shows water tank levels, fuel level, and voltages) go totally blank?

Hi Sam:

Try resetting it by unplugging and plugging back in the plug indicated on the back of the VDO panel.

This worked for me.

Did it come back on by itself or has it remained blank?

It came right back on.

It just needs to be "reset".

Man oh man, do I appreciate this site! Chris, I did what you said and it worked fine. Thanks much!!

This occurred after the boat next to me at a mooring field in Key West, Florida was hit by lightening. This is the only issue I had. I do drop a couple of battery jumper cables over the side , attached to the shrouds when lightening is possible. This may have helped me relative to my friend. He has suffered approximately $20K damage on his B423.
