I would highly doubt a sensor issue as it affects multiple gauges that receive info from different sensors. Also check the connection back to the sensors, a little water or corrosion can wreck havoc, and a shared connector could also be the culprit.
When pulling your motor, the tech disconnected several grounds.

Check all for a good connection.

Also, +1 on the fuse. (#8).

Good luck,
