Hi gang.
Elements of my dashboard have ceased to work.
The fuel gauge has stopped working
The engine temperature gauge has stopped working
I believe the battery light has stopped working
I have no idea if the check oil light is working, but obviously it's important it work
The indicator lights on the dashboard don't work, but the actual indicators do
The speedometer does work
The mileometer does work
I'm assuming this is probably a fuse. If my assumption is correct, how would I find out which fuse needs replacing?
Thank you in advance!

Not likely to be a fuse , I would guess the plugs come off perhaps

Under the dash pod , you need to pull clock top off and then look behind/ under the clocks

Sat in the drivers seat reach up above your right knee under the dash the 14pin loom plug for the dash cluster is reachable , give it a push and a “jiggle”
if that wont make any difference , as has been said above , take the top off the dash pod and investigate that way down

I did exactly this:

Thanks again!
