Unhappy Gauge cluster stopped working

So yeah, I don't know if this has happened to anyone else before, but my gauges just went completly dead Saturday night on the way back from the weekly custom car meet up. I'm guessing a loose connection came apart somewhere, just not sure exactly where. Has this happened to anyone else?

The speedo hasn't really worked since I bought the car. I've already traced that to the shifter cable, which will be replaced soon enough(hates not knowing what speed he's at)

hah, all that w/ a broken speedo. That's what I call ironic. Only in the wide world of Tuners would that happen. A car built to go fast, but you just don't know how fast it will go

Can't say that I have. See my main problem is my tools & the lack of them. I had a set, but that changed when I let someone use them. Asked for them & they were no where to be found. Bad luck has been following me like cops behind a 3-rotor RX-7

You don't need tools to check the fuses.
