I have an 1988 Nissan Sentra 2 door. My gas and temperature gauges do not work and my dash light just went out. I have searched for a fuse for the gauges to no avail. Help please.

The dash lights are probably a bad fuse. The temp/gas gauge problem is common on B12s. I have it too 
There is a transistor in gauge cluster that is prone to failing. I'm not sure where it is but you would just have to solder a new one in. OR you can just ignore it like I do. Just reset your trip odometer after every fillup and know how far you can go on a tank of gas. BTW the low fuel warning light will still work So you could just drive the car until the light comes on and then get gas quickly.
