Need help guys!!!

My car had a radar detector wired into it that the previous owner had done. Well it quite working so I uplugged it. Well when I started my car up all my guages were frozen only the speedo worked. My guages just sat there, the tach read 1500 the amps were 0 the oil was 0 the temp was 250 or 260 and the fuel said 1/2. I think it is a fuse but don't know for sure.

IM,

There is a fuse for the instruments in the fuse panel. That would be a good starting point. When the radar detector failed, it may have taken the fuse with it, depending upon where it was wired for power.
