Help?

I have an 03 ford explorer. This morning I drove approx 3 miles to the baby sitters with no troubles at all. I lef tthe truck running while I brought my daughter in, talked for approx 5 min or so and then went back out to leave. The truck was still running fine, but I could not get the gears to engage out of Park. So I turned of the engine and restarted. But it was now dead. When I would turn the key all the gauges went all the way left then back down. At this point the steering wheel would not lock, but I could turn the key and get the gear shifter to switch gears. I got it jump started and had the same problem, no engaging out of Park. Also none of the gauges were working, there was a rough idle and when I would press the gas it would not revv up. It seems electrical to me. Hopefully a fuse of some sort?
