Two sort of unrelated issues. Car won't start. Tried to hit the solenoid to see if that was it, got a spark, and now my instrument cluster doesn't work. My starting problem is most likely the solenoid.

Why doesn't my instrument cluster work?
I checked all the fuses, they look fine (can they look fine and not be?)
Where to go next, I imagine there might be some circuit protection on the instrument cluster itself. Do I need to pull that out?
Also, no motronic faults, code 1444 (no codes).

Thanks for any help.
