No instruments and DTC codes

OK fellas I have one for you, on my trip up north to do some fishing this past week I lost all of my instrument gauges and compass as I was pulling out of the driveway to leave? I had nothing, no speedo, Tach, oil pressure, fuel, temp or compass??? After I got home I hooked up my Smarty to read the codes and got the following:

P-1698 - CCD not communicating with ABS, no CCD / J1850 from TCM/PCM ( whatever the hell that means)
P-1687 - No cluster bus message
P-1694 - No bus message from ECM

Odometer says 'no bus' and compass says 'ccd'

I had Capitol Dodge do the brakes on my truck before I went camping at Lake Tahoe back in May, have not driven the truck since that trip but did not have any issues with the gauges on the trip.

I just installed two new batteries before this trip, did not take both out at the same time. I replaced the passenger side battery then replaced the drivers side battery, did I screw up something in the computer?

Any ideas or suggestions would be most helpful

Thanks
Dave
