Could be the neutral safety switch/range selector is out of adjustment or defective.

I dunno about the radio (maybe a fuse?).

The speedometer/odometer/and transmission shifting could all have a bad VSS in common. You don’t include much info (like the year engine or maintenance history) though, so there is no way anyone can look up any information on your van.

Just based on the info you have provided I would suspect you have a fault in the vehicle speed sensor circuit (Could be the sensor, or the wiring).

Yes!

The problem is with the PRNDL (prindle) switch. Or as Ford calls it the Transmission Range Switch. This is a common problem with Fords.
