Answer
Assuming all your problems came on at the same time, I suspect a connection problem in dash cluster. Recommend removing dash by unscrewing 2 screws behind cover tabs on both lower corners of cluster. tilt cluster one way to access one side of harness and then the other side to access the other side. Try just removing connector and re-installing it.
If not you'll need a wiring diagram for car to check all dash ground points to make sure they are secure.

Hopefully this car wasn't in accident before ??????
