Unhappy Gauges not working help please!

So I get in my 86rx and I crank it drive around foe aprox. 1mile and all of a sudden all of my gauges go off. All of them but the mph gauge. I looked for blown fuses. There were none. Everything else seems to be in working order.is there a inline fuse or relay? I need it in working condition. And I would like to do it the right way. Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The gauges that you speak of use the 7.5 amp Meter fuse in the interior fuse box. This fuse also powers the "reverse lights" and heater fan so if either of these don't work then proceed to check the Meter fuse again.

The lights for the gauges are powered by the Illumination fuse which is a different circuit then the one powered by the Meter fuse.
