Multiple issues, same culprit?
I have a 1995 F250, 5.8L, auto transmission. When the key is turned to the start position, several annunciators illuminate but the engine does not turn. It starts fine by shorting the solenoid near the battery using a screwdriver. I replaced the solenoid and it still doesn't start from the cab. Also, the speedometer and odometer do not work, the dashboard lights do not work, the ABS annunciator stays lit, and it does not shift properly. I swapped the solenoid and it still doesn't start.
What are the odds of a bad solenoid straight from the box?
I have checked the fuse box and no fuses are blown.
Any ideas if everything is linked or just multiple simultaneous failures?
Thanks for the help.

I am almost wondering about your ignition switch. This is not a valid suggestion, but worth a thought. Definitely an electrical problem, grab the haynes manual and start following wires. That is where I would start.
