I'm having some problems with my 2002 Ram 1500 SLT - it seems as though something has gone wrong electrically, and I don't have any dash lights, gauges, tach, speedometer, door locks, turn signals, interior lights, fog lights - - and I think that's it.... No horn either. Everything else runs fine - I have all power outlets, radio, cruise - upper display (temp, direction, fuel economy, etc.).

Is there a common thread here (one component) that handles all of these? I don't have a wiring diagram - so I cannot tell. Help - please.

Break out the multimeter and start testing your fuses in the engine bay as well as under the dash. If you have added anything electrical since this has happened this will help us diagnose the problem for you as well, so please list anything that you have added since this problem occured.

I have already check and re-seated all fuses. I have added nothing at all to my vehicle either. It started last night - blinked a few times while driving home - then again... then finally - it went and didn't come back.

I'm thinking it's a common component (most things that are gone are on individual fuses) - but maybe they're collectively on a common component somewhere, that went bad.
