1983 trans am trouble shoot.

I have a 1983 trans am. The interior dome light, clock and possibly the cig lighter stopped working not to big of a deal but the odometer seems to be going up really fast. Cause I just changed the oil its been 2 days and the odometer says I put over 2000 miles on it since then but there's no way. Any ideas as to what might be wrong. would like to know as much about this car as I can.

Check your fuses, more than likely one's blown!

Odometer/speedometer is mechanical on a 1983 Trans Am so its unrelated to the electrical problems.

Checked them again found the bad one. though for sure it was something more. still not sure about the odmeter though, said I put 300 miles on in a ten min drive.
