Where are the gauges getting power from/how are they wired? I'm sure you've checked for blown fuses by now..?

i checked for blown fuses when it happened.. well the bulbs in all three gauges share the same power sourse and the three gauges gain their power source from a different wire.. i just used a test light to find a wire under the dash to tap into i would have used the fuse box but that was already done by the previous own her has 4 corner strobes installed
