Default STI Genome Gauges stuck...

Went to start car this arvo and on start up I noticed my gauges were all stuck in the 9 o'clock position..
Gauges have power ( lights come on ) but do not respond to the controller or do what they are supposed to do. Have checked fuses, unplugged / plugged back in power for the controller etc but no cigar.
Not sure where it is powered from or if a different power source is used for the gauges along with the power for illumination??
Gauges are boost, oil temp and oil pressure.

Any ideas welcomed.

check if the power is taken off the back of the cig lighter, may be a fuse in the wire to the control box

unplug all the gauges from the link cable and turn it on then turn off and plug them back in then turn it back on this worked for me

^^^ Winner

Tried doing from the box end but didn't do a thing so popped out the gauge holder and unplugged it and plugged in again and magic happened.
Mystical movement of needles and flashing lights put me into a trance.
