Default Accord 3.0 instruments dead

Hi
I drive a 3.0 Accord V6 1999. I have just gone to use the car and the instruments have stopped working, that is the speedo, tacho,temp and fuel guages. Everything else works. All the fuses are fine and I have wobbled all the relays to try to make sure their connections are good.
Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong please?
Regards
Edward

Did you check the under-dash fuses?

On other models, the No 1 fuse (10A) in underdash fuse box supplies power to virtually entire panel.

good luck

Thanks Texas
I only looked under the hood. I am in the Isle of Man in the British Isles so it's dark now, I'll check in the morning.
Regards

Problem solved. I could not find a solution so I punched the dasboard hard just above the instruments and they started to work again.

Well,,,,you won't find that procedure in the shop manuals.....if it comes back I guess you know there is some sort of loose connection.

My guess would be a cracked solder joint on the circuit board of the panel. It could also be a faulty harness or connector.

good luck
