Dashboard lights not working

After a few months of not being driven I came back to my car with a whole slew of problems. Amongst them are the dashboard lights not working and the bell for when the headlights are on while the car is off. My guess is they are probably related. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have a pretty good knowledge of electronics, does anyone know where these two circuits meet up so I can start testing there?

Thanks for any help you may have!

Re: Dashboard lights not working

I'm an idiot, it's just the fuse. I've got the headlight warning buzzer working now, but I haven't tested the cluster lights. I'm pretty sure they're on the same fuse.

Thanks for the help!
