Instrument blackout. HELP!

I'm working on a 2011 GT3 RS4. The instrument panel, radio, power lock activator on the dash, (the power locks still works) have went dead when I replaced the battery. I've checked all fuses. Is there a relay or aux fuse panel I'm unaware of? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! This car only has 180 miles on it & I'm VERY fearful of having to replace the gauges thus devaluing the car greatly. Someone please reassure me there is a reset or fuse. Thanks.

I would contact the dealer for this question. As I recall there are 35 different computers on this car. The dealer can tell you how to diagnose electrical faults.

Furthermore, this is mostly an aircooled forum.

Pull the negative off and let it sit for an hour and reconnect. I have a 2007 and as far as I'm aware there is only the one fuse box on this car. There may be some fusible links in the frunk under the panels near the battery. Dead batteries in these cars do weird things.

This is. Really and air cooled site. Try rennlist gt3 forum.

If you're that concerned put it in a flat bed and ship to a dealer.

These cars need to be driven..... 180 miles? Geeze

I tell my boss that ALL the time! These cars sitting around is killing them. He's worried he's devaluing the car by putting miles on them.
I also do know this is an air cooled forum but there are so many knowledgeable people on here that have helped me in the past with air cooled questions that I figured someone may know. Sorry if I offended or upset anyone.
