I had a similar problem with my 88 comanche. Dash lights and parking lights did not work. I had to rewire my dash lights and remove a wire from my headlight switch connector. Not sure which wire but with the wire connected the parking lights and dash lights would cut out. The speedo is mechanical. Could be worn out and need a new speedo cable.

I fixed the speedo problem but its a bit jumpy and seemed worn so I'm going ti replace that this week and I found a blown fuse so I'm going ti change that out and see what's up

The big connector that plugs in behind the fuse box under the hood. Sometimes they need cleaning, there's a bolt in the center of it that you cannot see.. Should be a 1/4" or 9/32.
