Drove home from work this week, and a mile or so down the road, my gauges, speedometer, odometer, fuel and temp gauges all went dead. Headlights were OK. No battery indicator on while driving. I let it sit a few days, now just went out to turn it over. Glow plugs heated up, turned over fine. Still no gauges. Any troubleshooting advice? Fuse issues? Thanks all!

When my gauges quit, it turned out to be a bad fuse. It doesn't hurt to spend a few minutes rotating each fuse in it's slot, every year. The fuse ends and the connector tabs can develop corrosion. The simple task of rotating them back and forth will cut through the corrosion and give you another trouble free year.
