This was my thoughts
Check to see if the battery is flat.

check the connections on your battery, something similar happened to me and it was cos i got a load of cak around the terminal connector when i reconnected the battery. cleaned it up and hey presto, works properly again! might be a similar problem?

The other possibility is that the fuse powering the instrument panel has failed.

I'm sure I've had that fuse go, If i remember correctly it also feeds the relays for the A/C, self levelling suspension and other stuff, you'll need a wiring diagram to see what else it does, just start isolating the various circuits it feeds till it stops blowing fuses
