Re: im really pissed whats going on?

Well if you are really pissed, you need to calm down, because you will never get anything done being pissed. Having said that, you have three problems here. 1. gas gauge not working. 2. dash light not working. 3. Speedo not working.

Take the easy one first. I suspect the speedometer cable is either broken or unhooked at one end or the other. If the cable is not broken, unscrew it from the speedometer head, drive down the street very carefully, and check to see if the cable is spining with your fingers. If the cable spins then the speedo head is bad, if no spin,then there is a problem with one of the speedo gears in the tranny.

Do you have park lights ? I think they run off the same circut as the dash lights. I also suspect a bad ground the gauge cluster. Remove the plug to the cluster, and make sure it is clean and in properly.
