If you cant find it, and you feel as tho the earth lead has failed; install a new one to the gauges from the battery, as a temp.
If they still dont work then your problem is elsewhere.

If its a pcb board the likely hood is that there will be a negative sign imprinted on it; the other option would be run it to the dash board lights and it should be obvious which part of the lamp is negative so attach temp lead to the dash lights.
