No dash lights or radio
On my 84 Trans am I have no dash lights or radio. I haven't looked into to far yet but is there any wiring link between the two of them? All my other lights work, parking lights, taillights, light in the ash tray, foot well light, door chime etc all work.

Does your shift indicator light also not work? (The light under the PRND21 panel). That one is on the same circuit as the Defogger control light, radio light, and heater-a/c control light, and the instrument panel lights. They all go through the INST FUSE (5A) to the dimming control by the headlight switch. The ashtray light is on a separate branch.
Do you hear the chime if you leave your lights on?

The shift indicator lights are also out. I will check to see if the chime comes on if I leave the lights on. I do know the chime works when the door is open. I checked the 5a fuse and it was good. The car sat for a long time in a barn before I got it so I'm starting to think mice may have chewed on some wires.

You should start your own thread. You need to inspect for a short in your wiring somewhere. Bare wire touching metal. Did you do any work in the vehicle right before this started? If so, that could lead you to the problem area.
