I had this problem when I was messing with the wiring in the dome light. I replaced the keyless entry and one of the wires was not insulated all the way. When the doors would close, it would cause the headliner to move and make the wire contact the metal on the roof. Poof, all gauges and interior lights gone. You need to find where the water is leaking and causing a short. Could be coming in under the dash or on the roof.
