I would start off with the simple things first, the fuses. Mt 99 wouldn't start a while back because of a blown fuse. Don't forget to check the fuses under the hood also.

I just tried to do a search to find some info for you but I can't seem to find anything to help. I do know that if the tach doesn't move at all when you crank it over- it is most likely the cps. But I don't think that would affect your gauges. I'm sure somebody will chime in.

If the fuses are OK, start checking for a loose or corroded connector somewhere. Could be under the hood or under the dash.
