gauge cluster problems

Everything was working fine yesterday. Now my speedometer is the only thing working. Gas,oil,battery,tach, and temp are all sitting at zero when running. What happened and how can I fix it? Please help.

If you're lucky, it's a fuse.

Not a fuse. I checked. The speedo is still working. Everything was fine last night.

can you pull the cluster out and check all the wires and circuit board which is thin plastic green color film on which the circuit is printed for any burnt marks. If you have not done it before, there are several articles on how to pull your cluster and changed the bulbs. It is fairly straight-forward, with the exception of removing the headlight switch, which in my opinion is not difficult but once you do it, you will know.

Hope this helps

OK I got it fixed. My needles were pushed on too tight from when I put my white gauge face so I pulled them out some. So far its ACE.

You forgot to mention that in your post (LOL). Glad you figured it out.
