Fuse #8 protects all the items you're missing -- check it to ensure good.

Fuse #8 is a real treat -- seems to have inherited everything DMC ran
out of space in the fuse block for. Compare to Fuse #2 (left side
illumination ONLY). As part of re-wiring my headlight circuit moved
instrument lamps, A/C panel lamps, and cigar lamp to a new inline
fuse. Headlight and hazard switches have no internal illumination (not
about to run THAT risk again -- see melted switch in #5939's photo
album.) Fuse #8 now a mirror copy of fuse #2. 

Now that you've managed to keep all those fluids in the car, is time
to address the electrical system. Not hopeless, but far from perfect.
Biggest problem I've found is all that 16 gauge wire! My mods use 14
gauge. Relay compartment makes sense, but if DMC wanted to keep
voltage out of the dash WHY RUN FULL SIDE AND TAIL LIGHT VOLTAGE
THROUGH THE HEADLIGHT MASTER SWTICH?! Spend some quality time with the
wiring diagram and diagrams in section M of tech manual. Can be a life
saver on side of the road (seems like whole car can be driven from
relay compartment). Always carry 2 and 3 way jumpers in the glove box.
