Cool Help - All Guages Died

New to this group and must have read through 20 pages of posts. The guages on my 1997 F150 4.6L (W) have all died at once. There is no movement in either the oil pressure (bottomed out) or Temp (centered). The fuel guage says full only for about 15 miles after fill up and the Tach is pegged all the way to the right. The speedo only moves to about 40, no matter how fast I'm driving. The odometer works.

Any ideas? I have checked all the fuses under the dash and hood and they seem fine. Am I missing one somewhere? Could it be a relay?

Did ya try cpr? haha I would try checking the fuses, and replacing the one for the instruments, sometimes fuses can be blown and not really look like it.

I'm thinking corrosion some where, like if the windshield were leaking into the dash.
