Headlights, dome lights, and radio shut off on my 1990 bronco!

I went down a bumpy dirt road after duck hungting and my headlights shut off all of a sudden. At the same time my radio, dome light, running lights, and all interior lighting went out and will not turn back on. dash instruments still work e.g. windshield wipers, ac, heater, but no ilumination. Also the blinkers and flashers still work and the fuses in the fuse box are still good. I'm lost! any sugestions???

    Radio went out then headlights. Came back on then later quit all together. Fuses were checked by a mechanic friend and all were good. Could it be an ignition switch or an electrical problem?

On the components, you might try a separate ground. See if that helps? Check the battery negative connections. I've seen this even on newer vehicle where instrument cluster or whatever would dim a little when you turn on headlamps. I think it's a ground issue? Just my opinion.
On any component that doesn't work, check voltage and ground, you could try a redundant ground.

One of my driving lights went out after hitting a bump on a dirt road, how do I replace the bulb? It's not the headlight, it's the driving light or fog light.

Check your neutral safety switch. I had the same problem during a hard rain, hit a bump and everything went out.

Headlights, cab lights, and sterio won't work

Get under the hood and start shaking the wire harnesses, while you have someone sit in the truck waiting for things to flicker on and off. Chances are good that you have a corroded connection that supplies quite a few gadgets. Also check the terminals coming off the battery, and any smaller wires attached to them. These frequently corrode faster than the larger wires. By the way, shaking the harnesses...is called, " THE WIGGLE TEST". Good luck. Chip
