Question Guages,radio,power windows and trans wont work

I have an 04 e350 super duty with 5.4. The gauges ,odometer,radio and power windows wont work and the transmission wont pull in forward. It sure seems like some weird electrical problem because the transmission was fine when it was parked a couple months ago. Has anyone had this happen or have any suggestions.Thanx

I would also check the wiring over good. Mice and squirrels seem to love chewing on wires.

That would be a wild guess? Or you have done some testing and think that's the problem?

The ignition switch or the gem thing is the only things I could come up with from reading on the forums.

See if it moves forward in manual 2nd in addition to reverse. If so, the transmission has lost power for the solenoids.
