Default Gauge needles sticking

The last 2 times I have driven my 03 coupe my speedo says I'm doing 180, my gas gauge says empty, my temp gauge says I'm over heating and my tach is stuck at 3000 rpm. When I turn Off the car and restart it they don't go back to normal. The first time it happened I had to disconnect the battery. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it.
