Default 300E gage problem

I was driving home from work and suddenly loss the function of my oil pressure gage, tach, temperature gage and gas gage with a mild buzzing sound coming from underneath the dash. I pulled over and first checked my fuse box...looked around the engine compartment but found nothing unusual. I started the car and got home with no problem but the gages I've mentioned are still not working. Can anyone giveme an idea whereI need to check?. I am handy and can fix things, I just need help where to start checking. I appreciate any kind of help.

You have a cracked or corroded fuse. Determine fuse location and replace that fuse. Do not test it, just replace it and report back.

My apologies Carnut,Did not realized that you had replied to this post. You are absolutelyright on !! The fuse that Ireplaced had a micro crack/fracture that is not visible to the human eye.All instrument gages started working the moment the fuse(15A)was replaced. Thanks a million man!!
