Gauges stopped working on 2001 Kia Spectra

Greetings,

Have a 2001 Kia Spectra - the Speedometer, Odometer/Tripometer, Fuel, Temperature gauges, AND Check Engine light have stopped working.

All the other lights on the dash, ie: door ajar, etc. are working fine.

Right before they stopped working the check engine light came on intermittently - Each time I took it somewhere for them to put a tester to find out why the check engine light was on - the darn thing turned off. Then one day the check engine light and guages stopped.

Any clue?

Thanks!
