Default Can't shift out of park, and no speedomter

After I got gas today, I started back on the road. After maybe a quarter mile, my speedometer stopped working and went to 0. I pulled off to the side of the road, and shut the car off. After restarting, I was unable to shift out of park. I had to takea spare key, and put it in the shiftlock release hole to shift. It runs fine, but I don't know how fast I am going, and can't shift from park. The light on the instrument panel doesn't show what gear I'm in anymore. The odometer also stopped (pretty sure that is hooked with the speedometer). My wipers also stopped working on intermittent (low). Not sure if all of this is connected, but it all happened at the same time. I find it hard to be a coincidence. Let me know if anyone has any clue as to what might be wrong.

Yeah, it sure was a fuse. I can't believe all that trouble was caused by the turn signal/backup lights fuse. Never thought it would have been something that simple when it happened. Called the dealership, and he said check the fuses. Next time I'll know. Thanks.
