Could be a blown fuse. Those items you mentioned are all on the same fuse,
as are the stop lights, heater motor and windscreen wipers. Turn off all the
items mentioned above. Check the fuses (there are two) and replace it if
blown. Shop manual and Haynes both say 25amp fuse. (But if you don't have
an English fuse use a 15 amp US one.) Then turn on the key only.
Remember that the guages will be in the circuit when you turn on the key, so
if the fuse blows immediately w/o any other items on, the trouble is probably
in that part of the circuit.
If the fuse does not blow immediately, turn on one of the above. If the fuse
does not blow turn off that item and move to another one. If it blows again
note which item caused it to blow. Good luck. Let me know how it turns out.
