Default Gauges stopped working

I left the house around 2 AM this morning to go to work...about five minutes down the road all my gauges stopped working except for the speedometer. Lights on those gauges went out also. Any idea what it can be? Its a 03 Ultra classic Electra glide.
Thanks, Vinnie

Of course I will. Was not sure if anyone had this problem? Or why the speedo still works?

Vinnie, when that happened to me, I found my connections at the battery loose. This has happened two or three times in the four years I've had my latest scoot.
Hope this helps! :-)

aka Bob

ps. If you think about it, replay with the actual cause and remedy! Thanks

Does the outer fairing need to be removed? I'll give all of it a try when I get home

Glad you traced it down to a fuse. If it keeps blowing, someting is shorting it out.
