Car starts but no gauges work...

Ok, so I go to start my car this morning and it fires up. All of the gauges on the dash work for a second, then they all fall to zero. Battery, oil psi, rpm's, and coolant temp. Gas gauge stays the same. Car is still running fine. I go to turn the lights on and I get the beeping noise like the car is off and my lights are on... I get home, and it's running rough and almost kills when I roll to a stop. So I shut it off and pop the hood and coolant is over the battery and wires. It's like the car is running but all other systems aren't. Fuses are fine, could it possibly be computer related?

Ok, so after work I had some time to think and look things over. I checked my grounds and all my wires and they're just fine. Then I figured it must be ignition related. It would explain the coolant everywhere because I have an electric water pump and if that's not pumping coolant is gonna build up and blow out of the radiator. I tore apart my ignition and it appears to be burnt...
