I'll check the wiring diagrams tomorrow, since by books are at the factory, and report back to you here.

But in the mean time:-

Is your temp gauge still working?
and is your oil pressure gauge still working?
Also does your gen light come on when you turn your ignition on?

Sounds a bit more major than I can do over the forum. An auto sparky will be the go. Having said that there is a 30amp circuit breaker on the fuse box that might have tripped but it sounds that you have some real issues. With your alternator light not coming on I would imagine that you have a battery going flat problem? This light is in series with your exciter coil on the alternator and with out it your alternator cannot charge.....usually.
