very bad electrical issues, need help asap

so a few nights ago i noticed my spedo/fuel gauge/rpm would not light up, my a/c control lights are also off. then i just noticed that my tail lights dont turn on at night, but they do light up only when i step on the brake...this is a big problem, i will get pulled over forsure if any police officer in my area sees it...

ive looked at some fuses but everything looks good...

any ideas?

Do your tail lights come on when you manually switch your lights on ?

It might have something to do with that light sensor on the dash that will turn your lights on automatically. Try turning your lights on manually like stated earlier and see if it works.

i had the same issue, it was a contact of the fuse in the fuse box, i for got what fuse it was, it was either the cluster or the parking light fuse but,it was a red 10amp i know that, i put a lil bend on the feet of the fuse one a lil out one way and the other a lil the other way out. put it back in and never had an issue since. I had all the same signs you have discribed.
