unlock button lights dash

hello everyone. I must have messed up my first posting attempt so I will try again.

I have a 1995 f150 4x4 with a 5.0 to a 5.8 swap done. I haven't used the truck much over the last few years, but am now enjoying it again but have loads of problems. I have fixed a lot of them by scanning threads but this one is really bugging me.

When I hit my unlock button, I have keyless entry but it doesn't work either, my dash lights come on as well as my taillights, front blinkers and parking lights. Only a few lights work inside. The dash, and the ashtray. The dome, map, glovebox, doorlights, and rooftop courtesy lights outside don't work at all. The third brake light does though.

Also, the airbag light blinks at me as well as the overdrive button. I also have no speedo or odo. Alll other gauges work.

have replaced the door jamb buttons, headlight switch, cleaned all the grounds I could find, visually checked piles of connections and cleaned and greased them. The lock button works, so I spray lubbed around where I think the actuators might be, have no clue where it is.

I would like to check relays but don't know where they are or how to check them.

Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.
