Went off roading last weekend, while trying to get out of some loose sand my clutch began to spin and throw black smoke. The problem came after that. All my interioir lights and insturment panels went dead. The truck does not even start. I checked all the fuses and they are good. As for power all but 2 have power the rest are dead. The headlights work and horn work. I also dont have rear lights, Hazards work. The truck will start once I hook up the starter manually. While the key in the forward position nothing works.
