Gauges and starting failures

Skoda Octavia 2000  145000 miles
For a while, I've been having problems with the gauges, as they usually work for a short period of time and then change to zero. I was told to change the dashboard. I have always thought it was a short circuit, but the electrician told me it was an electronic problem. Another thing that I wanted to share is that, sudenly, when turning the ignition key to start the engine, it does not respond. It seems as if that last move of the key was blocked and the engine cannot be sarted. I really do not know what to do.

It happened to my car that the gauges were working properly and suddenly turned off and the problem was the ignition switch on the back. Two wires had joint because of the heat and were in a short circuit. I changed the switch and replaced the burnt wires and the problem was solved.

Suddenly when driving, the temperature and fuel gauges change to zero, as well as the speedometer. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
