Well, I checked all the fuses except position 6 as Jeff Schwaia and Mark
Drillock pointed out. I continued to ignore this until Mark reiterated that
it was a fuse and not a relay that I should be looking at in that spot.

Fuse looked fine until I removed it. There was a V-shaped section of it
completely melted. There's enough material left to make contact although at
a glance it looked fine. Voila! Dash lights are finally on. And to think
I've owned this thing for just over 3 years...

Thanks guys!

Still tyring to figure out what those extra wires are for. Jeff suggests it
might be for the rear heater since it's less than a foot away from the fuse
block. This Doka did not come with a a rear heater so there is nothing to
plug this into. Oh well, this can wait now that I have dash lights.

Good morning all. Or as the Japanese on tourist in the Mid-West might say...
"Ohio Goh-zah-eh-masu."
