Serious electricle problems

last night i got in my truck and noticed that my cab light didnt come on. then i started the truck and noticed my aftermarket radio wasent on ether..then i started to drive on the highway and my speedometer wasn't working nor was my odometer did not show up (digital odometer). Everything else inside my cab is working correctly even my power point. whats going on guys im totally lost.... its really an odd combination of electronic things not working....

P.S. i checked all fuses inside my panel by the steering wheel this morning and alll of them checked out fine.

Did you check the fuses in the fuse box under the hood?

If it's like most after market radios there will be a fuse on the back of it near the plug..

Your 1984 F-250 doesn't have a Digital Odometer and the speedo is not electronic. As that is the only year/Model I can see by your post I have to go on that, and say I can't help you.

You're going to have to give us some details because I always guess wrong, and something tells me the clue you left up there by your username is incorrect.

BTW, on the 92 to 96 trucks all of these items are on the same circuit AND usually the problem is a blown #8 fuse which is a 15A fuse. Did you check your fuses with a test light or Ohmmeter? If you just looked, that may not be good enough. If the fuse is good, then your problem is somewhere between the fuse and the solenoid.
