Stereo and gauges stopped working???

Ok, so my stereo was cutting in and out when i was going over bumps and stuff, so i pulle it out and tried to fix the wires, now it wont even come on..

Then, i replaced some fuses (none of them were blown) but NOW, all my gauges stopped working (fuel,speed,odom.) but my check engine light came on??

Is there a short somewhere? Bad fuses? Idk

Try pushing your instrument panel back into the dash. The connectors for the panel are notorious for coming loose and losing contact.

That worked for me when my instrument panel decided to stop working.
