    A fuse and a breaker might be a good start. Next need to check wiring diagram.

    Hi Douglas,

    Captain Steve's right, sounds like you lost a common power or ground.

    Looked at fuses all good. Moved and cleaned round connections.Still gauges not working. Does the ignition switch have anything to do with no power to gauges? Fuel,tack,oil pressure, and tempature gauges are the only ones not working.

    Gotta go with what WetWille and Captain Steve suggested. You're going to have to get to work with the wiring diagrams and a multi-meter.
