Pulled the cluster out IC board looks fine no burn's or splits. Far as the light's not sure yet my eyes aren't good. I probed the pigtail and have power to a few wire's. Their is a black wire bottom left from the light cluster centered between the wiper switch and headlight switch which is puzzling me it appears to be a ground but can't be it's not grounded to metal just pushed or pressed in the plastic. Radio has no light's or sound. Thank you for your help

Yes I located it. Has power and dims properly. The problem was at the fuse box a bad connection to the 5amp dash fuse.

Dash fuse. The copper terminals which hold the fuse had some play. It was repairable with a small plastic wedge an some rosin core wire for a nice solder.

Your information was very knowledgeable an helpful. I really like the fiber-optic wire to the wiper switch. It ruled out the ground And the IC board for circuit of connection It's been 20+ years since I restored a classic. With common sense and reading along with your imput We got it done. All dash light's generator seatbelt oil & temperature turn signal Indicators & 4 way and blue high beam cigarette lighter ashtrays. Everything works. Thank you for your help and time. Very much appreciated
