Gauge's do not work

I need some help, all the gauge's stoped working. One morining they all worked, that affternoon they did not. Everything else works, even the lights on the insterment panel but not the gauges. If anyone could help me that would be great.

To start, I would check all the fuses to make sure none are blown, assuming you haven't done that already.

Crawl up under your jeep, look above your transfercase skid plate, there should be a tied bunch of wires. They could have wound up on top of your exhuast, melting them. These are your sensor wires. It also could be fuses, but I dont think you would lose all your guages becuase of this.

Which gauge sensors would have wires running above the skid plate? I've dropped mine a few times before and didn't see any wires up there.

The water temp. and oil press. gauges have sensors on the engine block, and therefore would have no reason to run under the Jeep, but rather through the wireing harness that passes through the firewall. The fuel gauge wire runs along the inside edge of the driver's side along with the taillight wires and whatnot. The volt meter doesn't have a sensor.

I'm thinking its a blown fuse. I've blown two fuses since I've owned my YJ, and everytime, all the gauges went out, save for the speedo and clock.
