Guys....something weird happened to me last night/today

I started up my car after work and everything was normal. I decided to drive around town to get my temperature up. About 2 minutes from my house, I noticed the temp gauge had dropped all the way down. Pulling into my driveway my tach quit.

Started this morning and the fuel gauge is now below e and staying there...just filled it with 11 gallons.

After buying a McRib on my lunch break....I notice that the turn signals aren't clicking, nor are the lights in the cluster coming on. When I got home tonight I turned them on against my garage....Nothing. Yet my hazards work perfectly fine.

Oh and my seatbelt light won't turn on, but it still beeps if the door is open and the engine running.

What's wrong?

there's a ground near the hood popper/release, and also one under the steering column. Also make sure the ground at the battery is good.

You don't have to open the hood, its inside the car under the dash.

Isn't there a fuse box on one of the shock towers?

Because we looked at the one under the dash...they're fine.

First check the lcuster ground it is on that brace that goes around the drivers legs uner the dash, two check your aftermarket radio to make sure the dimmer light (the one u dont use) isnt grounding out.

BART FU MAN.... lol j/k i miss tem but its time to pass the torch.

K.

Now an update before I check anything.

I drove back to school today (I was home for Thanksgiving break) 100 mileish drive. About 40 miles in, everything came back on. When I tried to use the turn signal everything died again.

I had some really freaky lighting issues with turn signals, brake lights, instrument lights, etc. and I finally discovered it was due to a rusted tail light socket causing a short in the system. I only finally figured it out after a month of hell when the bulb blew and everything went back to normal. That might be worth checking since it's very easy.
