Is your "Battery Light" on? How's the condition of your battery? How's the condition of the alternator? How's the condition of the alternator belt? How are all your grounds? Have you tried replacing ALL major ground wires in the engine bay with some 6ga wire? Changing ALL ground wires to 6ga with some golden plated tips helps a bunch.

If it happened suddenly like it sounds like id check the belt-Alternator-Battery first, and in that order I definitely agree with you on the ground wires, but i don't think changing them in the engine bay would have any impact on his gages. Your alternator could just be out of adjustment make sure the belt is tight. Happened to mine about a week after i put replaced it so.
