Sorry for the delay i know that's the most frustrating thing when a new person comes in and is super unresponsive. Cars is back at my new apt so I will be working on it daily. Got a new battery and it starts up but when I turn it off and lock it (wether the top is latched in the up position or when it's down) the dash stays on. Looks like all the telltale lights are gone (I did remove that big fuse for the top and this is what I see.
