FC3C dash warning lights

I recently picked up an 88 FC3C. It's rough, and I'm working through the problems. It is finally running better.

Can anyone tell me which dash lights should come on when the ignition is on but the car hasn't yet started? It starts & runs, but the only indicator I see is the 'door open' light in the center panel. No buzzer, beeping or other warning lights (oil pressure, alternator etc) The dash backlight works fine, and the gauges all seem to work as well.
Many thanks!

This is from mine. It is a 91 S5 Turbo, so it might work differently in your car.

I took this for you the other morning on my way through the garage. The warning light cluster is from my 88 10th Anniversary RX-7:

You mean the indicator panel or the door switch itself?
