Default All dash gauges are out

I was taking my corvette out for a 60 minute test drive and then sudden first my rpm gauge went out. I just thought nothing of it and maybe it needed to be replaced but then the battery gauge meter went out about towards the end of the road. I parked it overnight and decided to work on it the next day and saw that all the gauges were out including the turn signals. The hazards work fine it’s just when i click it to either left or right neither one works. Can anyone give me any ideas on where to start?
1981 corvette.

Nobody can help you unless they know what year your car is

My 77 came with a tachometer. not a rpm gauge. and I have never seen turn signal gauges.
Not much help am I. Start by checking the ground on the left A pillar.
