OK folks, it's time to come clean...

I appreciate all the rapid and thorough responses, and
was about to start acting on them yesterday, but I
figured I'd double check the owner's manual first.
Good thing I did, since I obviously didn't check it
carefully enough the first time on a snowy day in the
Schuck's parking lot to realize that the (unnumbered)
instrument light fuse is hidden away above the main
row of fuses, and can only be accessed by unscrewing
the main fuse plate.  Sure enough the fuse was blown.
How embarrassing!  Nonetheless, I'm relieved that that
was extent of the problem.

I hope I'm not forever branded as "the idiot who can't
read his owner's manual"  Perhaps I'll need to resort
to an alias for all future posts...

Thanks for all the good advice,
Andrew

correction: 1986 Weekender with 260k miles (obviously
not all by me or I would have found the fuse sooner).
