Factory gauge malfunction?

I am wondering if anyone else has faced an issue involving the gauges in our trucks.. I have an entire side of the faactory gauges not operating correctly. The engine temp, oil pressure, volt and gas gauges.. they run a full sweep to the opposite end and pegged out beyond where they would normally rest, and remain there while running. Is there a specific circuit I need to check?

It sounds like a bad fuse or bad ground. Check your fuse first. Then check the back of the dash panel itself for ground or contacts where it plugs in. Do you have all your dash lights working?

I will check the fuses and ground.. As for the lights working, everything lights up, EXCEPT, lol, the odometer (which remains blank) and the dually fender clearance lights. I wonder if I missed a wire on the fenders though..
