Check your fuses under the hood as well. May have blown a couple of things.

That happened to me once, no lights on the gauge cluster. It happened to be that my dimmer on top of the ebrake release got unplugged somehow.

i have had my cluster go out a couple of times. just take off the battery head for a minute and you are back in business. if it does come back after disconnecting the battery, most definitely the fuse is out.
