    Messing with my 05 gp i killed the battery. I jumped it and all my analog guages stopped working except the speedometer. Is there a common fuze or relay that pops when jumping these cars? Thanks

    Not usually, but now would be a good time to break out the owners manual and see what fuse controls the instrument panel and check to see if it's blown.

    Broke out the test light and couldnt find any blown. A new battery was on my list anyway so just replaced it and go figure guages are up and running. I've never seen a car do that with a nearly dead battery.

    These cars are sensitive to electrical issues. Even a loose or dirty battery cable can cause strange things. I could see a weak battery causing similar issues. Not as cheap a fix as a fuse, but it won't leave you stranded due to a bad battery now either.
