Speedometer and odometer not working

I was installing a radio and I wanted to test it so I turned the key for power and a wire touched another wire and caused a small spark and didn't think much of. The radio is not installed yet but when I started the truck up the odometer and speedometer weren't working. I checked the fuse and it was fine. The truck is a 1993 f150, How do I fix this?

Check ALL the fuses. Pull each one and check it. Also check under the hood. You have a earlier truck, but they may have started using a underhood fuse box like they do in the later trucks, I am not sure when they started doing that.

Bingo! Found two broken fuses and replaced them with new ones. Speedometer and odometer are back up and running. Many thanks Frank
