if everything quit at the same time I would start by checking the ground for the dash or instrument cluster. The other thing is check a manual to see if there is a voltage regulator for the instruments. I don't know about that model vehicle.

if we're not supposed to eat animals why are they made out of meat?

Perhaps same as neon. I had to remove trim around cluster & remove screws holding cluster to dash, then pull it out far enough to get at the plug at back of cluster. I ended up putting a slight bend in all the little pins/tabs, so as to allow for better contact at the plug terminals. One time I would start the car and gauges would all work, next time none, next time some? After doing that, all was working. Yours may be as simple as pulling plug off, and spraying connections with contact cleaner.
