Default Dashboard gauges on 99EX acting erratic and possible failure

Hi,

Two days ago all the dashboard gauges on my 99EX stopped working. I discovered this when I went to start it one morning. We had big snow storm and it had sat undriven for couple of days with super cold nights.(just mentioning this in case the extreme cold weather is a factor.)

Today while driving the odometer came back on along with the routine maintenance light. This happened after I had driven a short time. Then, shortly after the fuel and temp gauges suddenly started working again, and so did the tach and speedometer. Then both the tach and speedometer just got stuck - floated at about the 40 mph mark and stayed there. Tach did the same thing, floating around 3K. Temp, fuel and odometer still working normally. By the time I shut the car off the speedometer and tach had jumped up to 85 mph and 7K or so and they stayed frozen there even after I shut the engine off and removed the key. When I returned to the car the speedometer and tach had returned to zero (discharging capacitor?) I drove home and this time none of the gauges nor the odometer were working and didn't work again for the entire trip home. I guess that would rule out a fuse. Anyone have any ideas of where to look or what is causing this?

Thanks in advance
