Issues with my 2008 Accord V6 Navi Model

Can anyone provide clues or directions on this..

Vehicle in question: Honda Accord 2008 V6 Navi model

I dropped off my vehicle with a popular auto-workshop around Billingsway for oil leak repairs that required the technicians to pull out the engine from the vehicle.

On completion, all the instrument clusters stopped working, except for the fuel gauge and the A/B trip computer only.

There’s no feedback from:
— the speedometer,
— temperature gauge,
— odometer
— the car information dashboard
— the gear selector indicator
— the air-conditioning (it only blows hot air, their A/C technician says he can’t diagnose any issue that’s causing it).
— the diagnostic control

None of the OBS diagnostic tools is reading any information from the vehicle. Nothing is coming up. All their 3 diagnostics tools worked fine with the vehicle just prior to them undertaking the repairs.

There’s no other security set up on the vehicle except Honda’s security set up. I’ve checked to see if that’s the issue. It doesn’t seem to be.

The implication is that my vehicle cannot be in use, otherwise I will be driving blind.

Mechanical-wise, the vehicle’s operation seems good. But I can’t ever be comfortable driving a vehicle where no vehicle information is available

Prior to this particular repair, all functions and instruments in the vehicle worked perfectly and in good condition. In over 5 years of use, this is the first time of undergoing any significant maintenance/repairs.

It is now 5 weeks since I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle, and till date they have not been able to resolve whatever the issue is.

I am counting my losses at this point, as I have to look elsewhere to get this fixed; but I need guidance from any of the professionals on here. I will also be holding them liable for the cost of repairs of this particular issue.
