Default Help... Gauges not working

For some reason my gas gauge, tach, and oil pressure gauge stopped working completely. I checked all ground wires and fuses. All the other gauges work fine. I'm stumped

Check th e fuse for the instrument panel. If thats ok its the BCM Module. Open up your glove box, take it off the bump stops so it hangs down. You will see in back on the right hand side a black box with wires. Thats your BCM. Give it a light hit with something. If your gauges pop on, you know its the BCM.
