Hi Guys, need some help.

I own a 2002 Explorer Limited (4.6 V8)
Was in process of changing coolant today, had dropped the old out, and was running motor for 10mins with a coolant flush in the system. Everything was going well till about the 9min mark, The engine hadn't quite reach its normal operating temperature (Halfway on gauge), was out of cab checking for coolant leaks, got back in and noticed the gauges had gone dead.

*No gauges on instrument cluster work - backing light does with headlights on
*Radio doesnt work
*Fan/AC doesnt work
*Electric Windows dont work
*No Interior lights work

I have done a little research and cant seem to find any blown fuses yet.
Has anyone had this problem? and if so can you shed some light on it for me?

Cheers
 






I would try checking the battery connections first.

Do you have factory cables or do you have the replacement cable ends?

The replacement ends seem to screw up if you look at them wrong...

Factory cables. Seem all good to me. Have disconnected the battery and reconnected it as well and still same fault.
