There must be a small short in the info center itself.
I bypassed the ground on the speedo and sent the ground directly to the info center and everything went blank. I then reconnected everything back the way it was to try get the info center to at least flash, and nothing. I then put the info center directly to the battery to see if it would work and it fired right up. And then i reconnected the info center back to the mpem without the compass and temp sensor and it now works.
Sound like a faulty info center?
