Gauge Problems

Alright so a couple days ago, i noticed my gas gauge was way below E so i rushed to the gas station, filled it with gas, gauge rose up to 3/4s, as im driving, all of a sudden i look down and its back about an inch below E, i checked the meter fuse and it was fine. The next day i noticed my oil pressure gauge just sat at 0 not moving, and the day after that, my speedometer started doing the same thing, sometimes it works, sometimes it sits at 0, and sometimes its all over the place. The meter fuse is fine so what else could cause 3 gauges to go out of whack on me.

Fuel gauge is often the sender in the tank. The float tends to come off. The oil pressure gauge is also almost always the oil pressure sender near the back of the motor. However, since you are having problems with the other gauges as well, I would suspect the cluster.

a few weeks ago i lost my entire instrument cluster - no speedo, tach, fuel, oil pres, coolant, odo meters and all warning lights. My meter fuse keeps blowing - i have a short somewhere, the real question is where?!
