speedo/tach acting up please help!!!

i was driving on the highway today and my service engine light came on with the security light, but at that time i noticed something weird, my speedometer stopped working and my tach was bouncing around from 0 to 2500 and higher when the engine speed was about 2100 at the time. but a second or 2 later everything works fine? this keeps happening but im afraid its just not going to work at some point...what could be causing this? bad sensor? fuse? the lighter power source is also affected(turns off my navigation) and my radio goes dead for a moment. the only weird thing is all the other gauges still work fine??? help please
