Exclamation Gauges Went Haywire After Hitting a Curb!

Alright, this is my brother's situation. He was looking down at a map (he is now getting a gps) and ran over a curb and into a vacant lot.

Ever since that his tempature gauge is WAY below cold, the tach only goes to about 750rpms, the speedo is way off actually i think it only goes up to 25mph and the fuel gauge is off.

I have no idea where to start. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

You may need a new analogue gauge cluster. I would try resetting the computer first by disconecting the battery for 15 minutes. I doubt this will work, but worth a try.
