Havent driven the car in a couple of days and when I went to town this evening, I noticed that both the fuel guage and oil press. guage have quit reading. They are both at zero. Are both of these guages inter-related? Do they both work off of the vacuum system? Any help would be appreciaed. Thanks.

Help. I checked all the fuses and they were all good. I checked the wiring to the coolant temp. sensor. Does anyone know where to go next in troubleshooting this problem?

I believe they share a multi-prong connector on the back of the instrument cluster. See if any wires on the back of it have came off somehow.

Its a fuse regardless of what you looked at or tested. Remove the fuse and replace it with a brass element one.
