The signals and fuel gauge are on the same fuse, hot with key on (green 
wires)
So the ignition is powering the fuse box.
BUT no ignition light means the white wire from the key thru the tach 
loop to the coil (and fuel pump) is not attached somewhere.
Check the key switch first. Jump the brown to the white wires and see if 
the ign light comes on and/or the fuel pump ticks.
Or the white wire came loose at the fuse box, there are 2 of them 
opposite the green wires linked by 1 fuse.
Dirty connection where the wires meet the fuse box is another problem.
Also check the brown wire at the solenoid, it may be dirty or loose.
This powers most of the car.
