08 @ 70k miles - started yesterday with a completely dead instrument cluster. All lights on it plus the speedo/RPM needles aren't working. Idrive screen is fine (other than clock and date are reset on each start) and car actually runs fine.

I hadn't started the car in about a week. So it was a slight struggle to start but it did on the first try after a couple seconds. Proceeded to drive highway for 30 miles so battery should be charged again, but the next start an hour later still had a dead cluster, though the engine crank was normal.

I've checked all the larger fuses in both areas, but the smaller ones in the footwell are tough to reach for now. If anyone can identify which specific fuse, that would help too. The battery is from 2013 (replaced OE battery already) but not sure it could cause a dead cluster only while everything else is fine. I'll check for codes on a later run, but any ideas on what else this could be?
