Blank Dashboad

Dear members,

I have a strange one here. Came out of the gym tonight and jumped in the car as normal, started it up and noticed that there was no bing bing sound for the seat belt, didn't think nothing of it until i switched on the lights and found that the dash did'nt light up. Switched off waited a few seconds and tried again and still no light. On closer inspection it looks like apart from no light the indicators speedo, rev counter and gauges all do not work. The indicators, headlights and brakelights do work on the outside so I had to drive home with no dash which was interesting.

Has anyone come across this problem before? Could it be a fuse or short some where?

Thanks
