so if the gas and temp gauges don't work...

just realized the two warning lamps aren't lighting either- hadn't even noticed that until it was pointed out here (too preoccupied with the gauges).

so if I read the schematics right (which is a long shot for me lol) the power comes IN @ connector 'N' on the firewall and splices to the instrument cluster and the ignition switch....so I should be able to trace from the alt. field basically. Unless I'm going completely backwards on the schematic...
