Cables broken or disconnected?

cables are good not broke are the guages electric i didnt see a fuse blown or seen anything unpluged any help would be helpfull

They're both mechanical gauges - blown fuses won't come in to play. Try pulling each cable at the drive end (ie front wheel and cam cover) and spinning the cable in the chuck of an electric drill (try reverse if normal doesn't spin the needles). make sure the inner cable is pushed well in while you try it out.

ok so i pull them out and both are broke do you know where i can find the inside cables that go into the gauges with the slots in them ??or do i have to get the outer parts with it 2

The inner and outer cables come together as parts. I'm in the UK so parts suppliers over here won't be any use to you. Have a look at Basscliff's welcome - that lists all the plaes to get bits in the US.
