Mark,
I just went through a similar situation onthe way to Brit car show in
Wadsworth, Ohio last weekend.  Same gauges too.  I found the fuse (second
one from bottom) had just enough corrorsion to prevent contact.  Clean the
fuse and the little copper spring clips that hold it in.  It's a pretty
common problem.
