Instrument Panel is Dead, Mostly

I drove my 2007 CS last weekend, hit 2,800 miles, put it away and haven't touched it in 5 days. This evening I was about to go out for a drive when, as pulling out of my driveway I noted the analog gauges on the instrument panel were dead. Everything else seems to be working including the trip computer, TPMS, etc. The digital speedometer reads "0" at any speed but the odometer still works. The panel is getting power because it illuminates with the headlights but none of the analog gauges work, so I have no functioning tach, speedo, gas or temp gauge.

I drove a block then went back to the driveway to investigate. (Hey, the Borla drone helped here, I know that in 2nd gear when I hear the drone I'm doing around 25 mph ) I checked the fuses and the IP fuse was fine (B1, right? Same as accessory outlet which was powering my V1 fine).

I do have the RemoteKey installed but it's worked fine for months. I've done no mods to the car recently. It has been warmer and more humid this week than recently if that might matter. Help, any suggestions before I head to a dealer to investigate?

Thanks!
