Finally got some time to do some diagnostics. Well, I have power on the three wires coming down to the panel. I have connectivity from these pins through the panel. But I didn't have power coming out. It ended up being a loose connector on the wiring harness. I played with the connectors and now have light. What a wonderful sight. I also have the warning indicator for 'key in ignition switch' and 'lights on'.
Thanks for all of the advice. Couldn't have done it without you.
