If it is all of the guages I would check the basics like fuses and connections. Please go to the 240 section find "The ultimate sticky" at the top and download the FSM. It has diagrams and troubleshooting tips.

Check power to the sending unit, check resistance too. FSM has a tip on checking it, but I bet it's the sender.

Factory service manual.

You can download them here. "EL" is the electrical section. I like the 91-94 one best. The one that says best is the worst IMO.
