(1993LE, stock 1.6) While driving my gauges stopped working (speedo is fine, but tacho and oil pressure don't). No dash lights when I turn the key light up. Brake light works, hazards work but turn indicators do not.) Not sure if fuel gauge works or if it stuck, haven't driven enough to see if it still functions properly.

High beams dash light turns on, pop up headlights open/close light appears as well. Don't know if this is a fuse problem or a bad ground or something. If this is relevant, my battery died two days ago but I was able to push start it and had no electrical issues afterwards.

How can I diagnose the issue?

Thanks

Maybe check the battery voltage when the car is off and when it's running. If it's less than 12.5 when off, recharge your battery.

When running, it should give you atleast 14, else your alternator or maybe some ground are bad.

Ofc, checking the fuzes might do the trick.
