Default oil temp and water temp problems!

Hey guys, the other day I was driving my vette when I stopped for a little while. When I got back in my car and drove a little ways down the street I noticed the oil temp and water temp gauges were no longer reading....any clue as to why both would stop reading at the same time? BTW it is a 1990 L98. Thanks.

yea, all the other gauges are working correctly. just today i noticed that the oil and water temp gauges do move, but not like they should or where they use to be.

You need to provide systematic information. What do they read at start up, do they rise steadily, where are they after three miles of driving, etc.
