fuel/oil tank instrument/gauge fail

In my 87 3.2, the left gauge does not work. No fuel reading, no oil tank level. The light works and when I turn on the ignition the needles pop up a bit. They don't work further (there is both oil and fuel in the car!). Must be electrical (?) but the red gas light is on (with full tank). I pulled the gauge and all wires seem to be connected, though there is an empty terminal toward the middle of the gauge with no wire on it. Ideas? Thanks,
Sheldon

Not at home so can't check Porsche books for fuse placement but this may be a cause.

I checked the fusebox I know (inside front hood left side) and there is no fuse there for the instrument. Will check to see if there are other fuses?
