Default tach, temp and fuel guage just stopped working tonight? What could be wrong?

I just went out to get cigs tonight and noticed that my tach (rpm guage), temp guage, and fuel guage arent working. My aftermarket temp guage works though. Volt guage is reading 13 volts. What should I check tomorrow? This is for a 1989 honda crx hf with stock engine in it. Everything is stock on the car except volt gauge and temp guage and air intake (home make) all came with car. I just dont get why they would all just stop working tonight. They worked earlier today.

it was a fuse. I shorted something in my taillights and blew a fuse. So i need to find out where the short is at. But it works again with bigger fuse.

yep, as the warning on the fuse cover says, dont put in a fuse with a higher rating.
