I have a 2002 Deville DTS which at first lost the turn signals, tachometer and speedometer. Now every other electrical component(ie feul, lights, power Windows, doors, as well as locks) all fail to work. The car turned over and everything worked for a second, then stopped again. Now the battery is drained, and won't hold charge. I'm at my wits end on this.

Do you know how to do automotive electrical testing ? Checking power and grounds . Hooking up a scan tool that can communicate with all the modules on the vehicle . The insturment cluster is a module too ,has a microprocessor inside . All the modules on the vehicle are connected through a serial data network . Class 2 . All it takes is one messed up module to short out the network an the vehicle will have all kind of electrical problems , like you won't believe . I see this all the time and the odds of you fixing this is probably not good . You have no idea of the complexity of these systems . So before you make the problem worst have the cadillac dealer check it out .
Body Control System Description and Operation
Table 1: 4-Wire Ignition Switch Table
The body control system consists of the following 3 modules:
• The Dash Integration Module (DIM)
• The Instrument Panel Module (IPM)
• The Rear Integration Module (RIM)
Each of the 3 body control modules integrate a number of functional systems under the control of a single module. Each module is connected to the Class 2 serial data circuit, many of the control functions are implemented by Class 2 messages.

Dash Integration Module (DIM)
The various DIM input and output circuits are described in the corresponding functional areas as indicated on the DIM electrical schematics.
The DIM functions include the following:
• Class 2 communication requiring DIM interaction.
• Control of exterior lamps.
• Control of front fog lights.
• Control of the headlights.
• Headlamps on with wiper input.
• Hood ajar switch input w/export.
• Horn relay control.
• Interior lamps incandescent dimming.
• Low side temperature for HVAC compressor.
• Power moding control over Class 2 serial data circuit.
• Reverse lockout solenoid control.
• Steering wheel controls input.
• Storage of the clock settings and, sending a message out on the class 2 serial data circuit in response to requests from other modules.
Serial Data Power Mode
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the DIM. The PMM receives 4 signals from the ignition switch.
To determine the correct power mode the PMM uses the following circuits:
• Accessory voltage
• Ignition 1 voltage
• Ignition 3 voltage
• Off/Run/Crank voltage

SOURCE: electrical problem

Turn off the car and pull out the key.
Check the alternator leads and the battery leads if they don't touch any other leads around them.(or each other-short circuit-as for the alternator)
Is the battery charged? It might have even died, partially, thus providing enough power only to the small consumers. In that case the engine wouldn't start- does yours?
Check the fuses, but this might be a serious problem, so replacing the fuses can't be considered a long time solution itself...(if they were burnt)
Can you fire up the engine? 
Do the Gauges work right? And the dashboard lights(except those you already mentioned)?

However if you are not really familiar with all this, I'd suggest you to have it done by a car electrician, he could have it finished by tomorrow evening...

answer the questions for further info if you are unsure

and rate please

The immobilizer has come on you need to diss arm it or bypass it.This some times happens when the battery is left flat for long periods of time.

SOURCE: 2000 Ford Taurus Battery Drain - - After the car

using a test light with all doors closed everything in the car off; disconnect your black battery cable then: connect a test light between the battery post you just removed the cable from and the cable you removed; the light should light. this is your short (leak) then remove fuses until you find the fuse that causes the light to go off your problem is in that circuit.

SOURCE: 2002 Explorer V6. Power door locks have stopped working.

Mine just started doing the exact same thing tonight. I disconnected the battery to change a DPFE sensor and when I reconnected I had this problem. I also have auto headlamps and they are not working either. I don't know what is wrong, I checked all the fuses also and everything looks good. I wonder if it is a relay??? I will make sure I respond to you if I find a solution.

2002 Chrysler 300M 3.5 liter, 4-door sedan. How to fix my speedometer problem?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

You connect a code scan tool and it tells you the issue. It will likely say a P0*** code that is 'VSS Failed no signal'. VSS = Vehicle Speed Sensor.

I have a 2001 Ford F250 Super Duty pickup, speedometer and tach quit working, then new batteries drained down. What should I look for to fix it?

You should look for a qualified repair shop , unless you know how to test automotive electrical circuits . Battery drain or parasitic draw on the battery is not easy to find if not familiar with automotive electrical testing . Also having wiring diagrams an service repair info . Does the truck run an drive ok ? The speedo an tach not working could be a problem inside the instrument cluster or VSS - vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer .
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
On vehicles equipped with 4-wheel anti-lock brake systems (4WABS), the vehicle speed signal is generated by the rear anti-lock brake sensor and sent to the 4WABS module. The 4WABS module sends the vehicle speed signal via circuit 679 (GY/BK) to all systems that require a vehicle speed signal input. Vehicles equipped with rear anti-lock brakes (RABS) generate a vehicle speed signal from the rear axle speed sensor. The generic electronic module (GEM) receives this signal (VSS_GEM) for internal use and then distributes it to the appropriate other users (i.e., the powertrain control module [PCM], speed control module, and speedometer).
Speedometer
The electronic speedometer (17255) receives a speed signal from the 4WABS module (if equipped with 4WABS) or the generic electronic module (GEM)/central timer module (CTM) (if equipped with RABS).

Tachometer
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with a 6,000 rpm tachometer and diesel vehicles are equipped with a 4,500 rpm tachometer. The tachometer is hardwired to the PCM through circuit 648 (WH/PK).

Hi I'm Rick! I'm afraid you have a cluster problem, the cluster houses the gauge package you see in front of you.. all your gauges operate from the printed circuit board to which they are attached and a portion of that board has failed.. The fix is to replace the cluster.

Speedometer and Blinkers don't work

Believe it or not but I think your hazzards are on a seperate fuse. If you had lost just your turn signals I would say probably a bad flasher but the speedometer is actually a little electric motor now, not a cable driven thing like years ago so it's probably just a fuse. Now, why did the fuse blow? Trailer wiring shorted? Corrosion near the tail lights? You been mudding it lately? Or maybe just a corroded tail light socket. Check all your lights afterwards. Hope this helps
