electrical problem

My dash gauges quit working and my radio does not have power to it. All the fuses checked good so I'm at a loss where to start looking. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Test fuses with a light, not your eyes. If good, the ignition switch or a shared power splice under the dash is dead. Wiggle the key if the gauges flicker, replace the switch.
