I had just finished fueling my veh at a gas station and started it up. I then drove onto the street and noted my speedo/ tachometer/gas gauge,[instrument cluster ?] were not working. Only the speedo trip odometer works, I can not tell how fast I am going or the engine rpms or how much fuel I have. I have checked all the fuse and connections I could and they all check good.
