Dead gauges and warning lights

This is my 83 daily driver.
When I turn the key, none of the warning lights come on. After it starts, the battery and exhaust overheat lights stay on, and the tach doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I spoke too soon. As soon as I put it in reverse, the meter fuse blows.

Try unplugging the reverse light wiring from the reverse switch.

one of the wires to the reverse switch needed a little insulation repair.
