Sounds like your bus circuit crashes with the key on you cab unplug the sensors with a 5 volt reference like the crank or cam one at a time and with the sensor unplugged see if your gauges come back to life

I say there is nothing wrong with the ECU, they don't fail very often. A bad crank sensor can cause the gauges not to function. Does the engine turn over, or do you have nothing happening when turning the key to start?

Cranking and starting are two different things. If the engine runs on its own for a few seconds and then shuts down, then you are most likely in theft mode. If the engine will only crank over without actually starting, then you have a possible crank or cam sensor problem, or even a fuel problem.
