1993 xlt 4.0L v6 wiring problem

[93rangerxlt-ca]

My gauge cluster light, heater/ac control light and running tail lights/brake lights quit working when i pulled a friend out of the mud, and all the sametime my ABS light is blinking but brakes work fine
Is it a ground or where and what can i check?

ABS monitors Brake lights, my brake light fuse blew and ABS light came on, so first check the fuses for the lights.

I wondered why the ABS light was on now and then for a few days then one day a guy came up next to me at a stop light and said "hey, did you know your brake lights are out"
No I didn't, replaced the fuse and brake lights worked, and no more ABS light
