So, today I went to head to the city in my 240, fired up fine. Let it warm up, looked at the gauges. I have my fuel gauge, and that only. Began to run through to see what worked and did not. Everything worked prior to today.

So the list of things that do NOT work:
Blower motor
Signal lights (but hazards do work)
Rear defrost
Gauges
Dummy lights in the cluster (ebrake/door open lights, etc)

What DOES work:
Wipers
Dome lights
Gauge lights
Horn
Fuel gauge
Door chimes

HICAS light is on now as well, fluid is fine, no issues prior.

I checked the fuses, relays and the brown connector beside the glovebox, no luck with any of it. Pulled my cluster out to inspect connections, all was good. Tried a spare TCU, nothing. Pretty stumped at this point, can't find anything else with Dr. Google. Anyone have some suggestions?

try pulling the brown plug (behind the glove box) again, and this time take an air hose and blow it out and make sure its fully plugged in VERY well, also make sure the wires are securely in the plug, if that fails make sure no short in any fuses

Wasn't anything common. The wire for that portion of the fuse panel was broken. Now for its weekly routine of being a demon car, decided it wanted to stall in the middle of wendys and not crank over.
