Likely a blown fuse. Would recommend an inspection of and running a multimeter across all fuses in the engine bay and in the driver footwell area.

multimeter will give you false ok's as the cars wiring can complete the circuit, pull the fuse's and visually inspect them,

both the engine bay ones and under dash ones, (behind the coin pocket by you right knee)

From memory, the ones that often go are the speedo one behind the coin tray and eeither the main 100A in the engine bay box or some of the smaller ones on the left (viewing from the front of the car).

Check the ignition failure sensor this is what popped on ftos when people did this and it's very similar
