None of the needles in dash work(speedometer,gas,etc)nor does the mileage show anymore.rpm does work and gas light comes on when gas is low what could this be. blinkers do not work either but all other lights do. I know the topic is not correct but i was unsure what to put

blinkers do not work at all or do they light up but do not blink?

and it's not to uncommon for the gauge cluster to go bad. there is a cottage industry built around fixing these things and it's just not fords! also the speedometer and odometer are effected if the speed sensor is bad. but that shows up as no reading on odometer not dead.

as a first thing check all your fuses. and the wiring harness to the speed sensor can get contaminated/broken.
