Default All gauges stopped working on the Dash

Two weeks ago I filled up the gas in my 4 Cylinders, Honda Accord Lx 2003, automatic transmission and noticed that the fuel gauge doesn't work anymore. Further observation revealed that the tachometer, speedometer, temperature gauge and odometer had also stopped. To further add to my misery the door open indicators reversed. Ie left indicators light up when right door opens. All these may have happened earlier in the day or just as I was filling the gas. I am not sure. I have had all my fuses checked thoroughly and they are ok. I have done the dash board reset several times and the gauges responded during the test. I even had a look at the circuit prints and connectors of the dash with the hope of seeing something broken but they looked fine. The turn signals, horn, lights, and other signals work ok. The car still runs fine and normal but I am blind to all these indicators. How do I handle this?

I'd check your ground connections. There are 2 grounding points above the fuse box in the driver's side of the car under the dash. Make sure they are making a good connection. You may want to disconnect and clean the bolt and eyelet with a wire brush or sandpaper.

Thanks for your reply. I checked and saw two ground points. One has a single eyelet and the other has several eyelets to the bolt. I cleaned those as advised. Hasn't worked yet. Any more advice?
