JD 425 gauges not working

[xer]

I have a JD 425 mower with 450 hours. I bought it new in 1997 and has been a great mower. Last week when I went to mown the yard, I noticed that the gauges were not working. I usually blow it off and wash it off everytime I use it. Can anyone give me some ideas what to check? I checked the in line fuse and it was good. The mower switch still works also, just would like to have a temp and gas gauge working properly.
Thanks

Looks like either the dash panel module or the fuel sensor or the temp sensor. Being it is both senders, I'd suspect the dash panel module.

There is a test procedure to isolate these three possibilities in the tech manual. I gather the s/n is under the 70000 when some changes were made to the 425.

There is only one tech manual. It will be for the 425, 445, and 455 by Deere. Can get it at the Deere dealer as well.
