turbo II help please

alright guys, i just got my car recently.... and its got a couple of problems...

first when i turn my lights out, the guage back lights dont wanna turn on... could it be possibly just a burnt out fuse? another problem is the speedo doesnt work but the tach works just fine, im guessing my speedo cable broke? and the last is when i turn my car on and drive around, i get this annoying beeping every few seconds, and the beeping doesnt stop so i hope those questions were clear enough for u guys to understand and i hope u guys can help me out thanks alot in advance

by the way my car is a jdm 88 tII if that makes is easier
thanks
jeff

The beeping is probably the Power Steering. You can disconnect the PS computer to get rid if the beep. It's located directly underneath the steering column...big silver box.

The light issue is could be burnt bulbs behind the gauge cluster...
The speedo not working could be as simple as the cable being unplugged from the gauge...I'd pull the cluster out, check the speedo cable and the bulbs at the same time. If the speedo cable is connected, your problem could be at the transmission. you may need a new cable or gear...

Headlight switch is bad maybe?

I've heard alot of people, including myself having the speedo disconnect behind the gauge cluster, it just snaps back on, its really easy to disconnect, i think i did it to mine on accident after i removed the tranny to replace the clutch, i pulled the cable too much.

*********first when i turn my lights out, the guage back lights dont wanna turn on********

Sounds normal to me. Turn lights out..........lights don't light up. Normal.
