I have 86 Monte Carlo luxury sport that the oil pressure, temp, and voltage gauge has stopped working. Everything else on the cluster works. I don't want to go with aftermarket gauges. And ideas would help thank you

If the fuse is good I suggest you remove the gauges to check the ground and the connection to the board

Here is a odd view of your issue, does the car still computer hooked up/functioning? With the gauges being dead, is the check engine light on? I had an issue like that about around 1995. The fuse kept blowing with the light on. Dealership couldn't find the issue. Another said it was caused by the lock up circuit & told be to unplug it (but I already had a non lock up TH350 in.) I got into things myself & found out it was circuit 39 (guages) that was also tied into the computer. Back tracked, unpluged the computer & fixed the issue.
