Default Left cluster gauges out. Help?

I have a 1985 Ford Ranger 2.3l.
The left cluster with the fuel gauge, temp gauge, oil pres. gauge and batter gauge are out. The cluster still gets lit up when the lights are turned on, but the gauges are always at 0. I was wondering if there is a fuse or fusible link that could have blown, or something else like that?

thanks.

There should be a printed circuit board behind those gauges. It could be as simple as a poor connection with the plug that plugs into the back of the circuit board , or look for a poor or broken solder connection to that part of the board. Also check ALL the fuses!
