    The speedo, odo, right signal indicator, and all dash lights are dead. I'm not too hugely mechanically inclined, but can fiddle with things. Any ideas on where to look? I don't know if this could be related, but none of the trailer lights work except for the two very front clearance lights and the brakes.

    Find your 12v. ele. test light and pull pig/tail off at truck under bunk then ck. for power at plug, if power gets that far you may need new pig tail, ck. fuse panel for dash light fuse blown?

    When you say speedo/odo are we talking about the light in the gauge or the actual gauge itself doesn't work? It's 20 years old so I'm guessing this is not the first issue, so yes it's very possible that it is related, if a previous repair was done incorrectly. But a WAG for now is check the ground to that side of the dash, that is the only thing those items have in common when wired correctly.
