Test fuses with a multimeter, not just by looking. Start with the main fuse under the hood.

Does the car start? how are the relays? If you REALLY have nothing, check the battery, AND the battery terminals and cables for corrosion and connectivity.

BY any chance is your wiring harness cut check that and check all of your wires sounds like something is shorting out pull all your gauges out and look behind them make sure you have no bear wires
