I ran into this issue and figured I would share my findings since it may come up for someone else with a cvt 10th gen...

Ordered a set of white LED reverse lights from ijdmtoy on amazon. Installed them and went to start my car when suddenly - the rpm and MID went black and my car was undrivable and wouldn’t shift out of park. I own a 2016 Touring coupe for the record and it took me a solid hour to figure out what which fuse correlates to the dash display.

Long story short - one of the reverse light LEDs was defective and blew a fuse for my speedometer/rpms/MID which renders the automatics (presumably the manuals as well) undrivable.

The fuse that needs to be replaced is under “meter” and a 10 amp mini fuse in the interior cabin and is for the dash display. I’ll edit this post once I have the chance to check which exact fuse number it is.

I hope no one else has to deal with this headache in the future and this post is helpful to them!

Wow! Amazing that an LED bulb in some other outlet can cause that fuse to blow.
