Fuel, temperature, speedometer, and tachometer gauges quit working. The tachometer gauge does jump when key is switched on and the fuel gauge registers sometimes until engine is turned on then they all register 0.

Hello,

The first thing we need to do is check the fuses here is guide to help with the fuse locations as well. Test with the key on. The cluster wiring diagrams below will show you how the system works and which fuses to check.
