Default Speedo, Odo, Dome Light, Wipers and 3rd brake light

Hi everyone!

I have a 2000 Ranger 3.0 XLT automatic transmission.

My speedo, odo, dome light, wipers and 3rd brake light all went out at the same time. I also have to start the truck in neutral and shift to drive or reverse after it starts. If I start it while in park, I cannot shift.

Anyway, I'm trying to fix this without taking to the dealership as funds are tight. Local shop told me I needed a new GEM Module but it didn't fix anything. So the old one went back in and the guy told me he didn't know what was wrong. I've also changed the abs sensor on the differential, brake light switch on the brake pedal, the ignition switch on the steering column and the ignition lock (old one kept getting stuck) but nothing has changed. I am also not getting voltage to fuses 3,4,7,8. It looks like the power for those fuses comes directly thru the firewall, is there a relay I should be checking for that might have gone bad?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I FINALLY GOT IT! Gosh after some time I read on another thread to check fuse 26 and I didn't have a fuse in that location. I have no idea where it went but I installed a 10A fuse and everything fired up! This forum was extremely helpful, by far had the most knowledge on this forum compared to the other ranger forums on the web. Thanks again
