I think it means they need re-calibrating... Altho i don't know if all gauges can be re-calibrated, so they could be fubar...

Not all gauges sit at zero when not in use (electric not mechanical), have you actually tried them?

Just to correct myself... What I said above doesnt apply to the boost gauge, that should sit at 0 as it will be reading atmospheric pressure even if it's not connected.
