Default Warning Lights On Dash

Hi all, i have a 88 EA S with full instrumentation. When the ignition is turned on none of the warning/check lights come on- low fuel, alternator, park brake etc etc. I have checked fuses and relays but problem still remains. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

sounds like you have a dodgy cluster

No worries mate thanks for the help. My old XE always used to pop the p/brake switch out at top of park brake mechanism against firewall.
