wacked guages
so i am on my way home last night stopped in traffic and look down to see my volts guaged pegged at zero!
i freak and start looking at my other guages and my rpms are reading zero too... so i hold the brakes and the hit the gas to find the engine is still running.
then a few min later when i am going down the road i notice that the speedo doesn't work either... and the fuel guage, the oil pressure guage, and the coolant temp guage are all pegged at max instead of zero... so i pulled over and hooked up my obd-II and the data stream showed everything was fine so i am guessing a ground in the dash somewhere... anyone have any ideas on where to look? thanks

Yes, the grounds are notorious for going bad on these gauges. Take out the gauge cluster and check the ground wires. If you see a bad spot, take some sandpaper to the metal.
