dash lights and brights dont' work...

when i bought the car 3 years ago, i drove it 70 miles home with all blown seals in the rear rotor. top speed fo 35mph (downhill)... everything else worked in it. it's a 84 gsl-se with a s4 block and intake, racingbeat exhaust, msd ignition, no emmisions. you get the idea. jsut about everrything you can do to a NA 13b without turboing or porting it. a few days after the swap the dash lights stoped working, i've taken the dash apart looking for burned wires and runs on the dash circuit borad and i can't find anything. (i took the buzzer off and put on a red led shift light. looks like it came stock). then one day my brights don't work anymore. the light to the right of the dash like the clock and heater controls get light but the gauges don't. all the dumby lights work also. i've evn checked the bulbs. i'm not sure whats wrong. as far as the brights go, i've had to rewire the engine bay because some ashat decided it to strip the wire for my trailing coil at a car show. i'm driving down the interstate and i loose all eletrics. fried a lot of stuff. but i jsut ran new wires where the old ones were and replaced all the bured wires. anyone got any ideas put thier sleeves?
