my ? is what would cause multiple things to go out at the same time. Here is a small list of the problems with my car. The speedometer, horn, high beams, cruise control.

Hi there,

have you checked the fuses,

I would be checking the main loom for a loose cannon plug, ore loose plug pins. i feel that it will be a common problem if they all failed at the same time.

I have checked all of the fuses with a test light. and all of the fuses checked out ok, meaning the the test light lit up when i put the poker on both sides of the fuse. question where is the cannon plug located at. and how easy is it to check for this problem?

There are a number of plugs, most are hidden under the dash, follow the loom down the steering column and start there.
