3 electrical problems

Hi I'm new here. I have 1995 Ranger V-6 Automatic. I have three problems that occurred relatively simultaneously but may or may not be related. 1. Left tail light doesn't work (bulb is fine, brake light works OK) 2. Windshield washer motor doesn't operate 3. Dash lights don't come on (happened once and came back now won't come back) Fuse OK, Radio lights work and change brightness when headlights turned on (not headlight switch?) Dome light can beturned on with dimmer switch (so switch OK?) Lights were OK before they quit so I don't think I was on my last bulb. Are these related in a way I don't know about. Any other ideas?
BTW I've had the truck since new with few problems. have only done oil changes, tire change,shocks, brakes, etc. truck has 100200 miles.

Check all the grounding straps for looseness and corrosion. There are several and can sometimes be the culprit with intermittant electrical problems.
