    First suggestion, try wiggling the key in the ignition. Ford ignition switches are notorious for not making good contact (wearing badly) and the power for your gauges goes through the switch. A worn key could make this worse. If this works, replacing the switch will solve it.

    Using a test light or multimeter, test for "power through the fuse" for all under dash and under hood fuses. It will likely reveal that the ignition switch is bad.
