My gauges "Blip" when i turn car on and off but dont work? OP, Volt, Temp

And they appear to be digital ? Or, i dont seee a dial. i am referring -sepcifically- to the three gauges that are small and round for Battery Voltage, Oil Pressure, and Temperature. The Battery one lights briefly (I see VOLT) consistent with a "Gauge check" of some kind when i am turning the key past ignition, on and off, and doesnt come back on.. Temperature and Oil Pressure/ Nothing, Zip, NADA>

Speedo, Gas, they work fine.

What is going on? Id liek to know my temperature, battery state, and oil pressure. Right now i know none of these things except like i said "VOLT" when turning car off/on this leads me to believe those gauges were cool and digital as i dont see a needle.

HOW DO I GET THEM TO WORK is that some kind of "known issue" WHAT DO I DO!!?? Thanks (And the fact i see the Battery one "BliP" means its connected somehow, idk.)
