Exclamation z28 Weird Problem?

I did an OBD II scan on the car and my knock sensors are bad thanks to hurricane sandy. But, as I was driving down the back roads, this happened? The quality isnt all that great and fuzzy because i was driving and would rather get a bad picture than focus and crash my car. Notice how my speed gauge is working right as well as the battery gauge, but everything else is just, down? If you know this problem it would be a HUGE help to me. Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Forgot oil gauge works too

Sounds like you got a problem there, was there any electrical or computer damage from Sandy. I would check to make sure the computer is not all messed up. Very rarely do I see all SES lights on at once. I have a gut feeling that there is moisture or water related problem. Hopefully some that has had a similar problem can chime in and help you out.

As odd as it may sound, check the plug wires. My dad said his instrument panel went nuts in their van and it ran like complete crap. In the end he changed the plug wires and it ran smooth and the panel started working again. lol
