Default '99 Ranger Issue :(

These are the symptoms:
-Cab lights won't turn on when the doors are open until they've been open for about 3 or 4 minutes
-Dash lights randomly go out
-ABS light on
-Speedometer doesn't start registering that I'm even driving until I hit 35-45MPH
-Odometer doesn't register miles until the speedometer starts registering
-CD player only works occasionally

I'm thinking it's a wiring issue but my friend just brought up the thought of a fuse being wonky, which is a MUCH cheaper fix... Any ideas?

well the dome light could be a simple fix...spray wd-40 in the latch and slam the door a few times...the switch in there might be just a bit sticky

I tried that, to no avail.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with the ABS light being on.
