I don't know were to start. My 96 aurora (my baby) I have replaced the alternator, egr valve, water pump, radiator. I have invested alot of money in this car. Now the gas gauge, speedometer, and temp gauge, along with the dic have all stoped working. I found a penny in the cigarette lighter (I thinnk thats what triggered the malfunction). I have checked all the fuses (drivers side door, under the hood, and under the back seat) none were blown. The doors no longer auto lock when i put the car in drive hell they don't even work. the radio also cuts off as soon as the car is turned off I dont know what it could be worng any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Sounds like a simple grounding issue somewhere. I would check make sure the grounds in those areas are ok, Where they are I have no idea.

Wot chris_fit said.
and
did you check to see if there is a relay that may be at fault.
After the penny incident did everything go poof together or individually.

After the penny thing everything went poof all together, heat controls, DIC, Gas gauge, speedometer, Temp gauge. Not to sound stupid but what is a relay and were is it located?

it is one of your fuses. how did you check your fuses. did you take everyone out and look at them or did you used a test light?
you should use a test light because some fuses can be blown but the metel inside might not look broken. when you check the fuses look carefully at the conors of the fuse. but one of the fuses are blown thats why you have that problem. it's not a relay
