I’m bringing a 93 back from the dead after sitting in the woods and not running for 4 years. Originally had a crank no start which I determined to be the fusible link. Replaced that and she came back to life. Got her started, but none of the gauges are working, no hvac, no signals, no windows, however the hazards and power locks work. I’ve run through fuses and next step is starting to pull the dash, just wondering if there’s anything else I’m missing? Thanks!
No gauges, climate controls, signal light, or windows

Those aren't related systems. You likely have more than one fault. Take a look at the power source (current flowchart) in the EWD. If you don't have one, you can download a copy from the Resources section.
The gauges are fed through the flexi-circuit behind the panel, and that is fed from the four connectors (C10 through C13) to it. They are in turn fed from the sensors in the engine compartment, through the engine harness.
The turn signals are fed through the spiral connector under the steering wheel pad; the hazards will work even if the signal switch doesn't.
HVAC is controlled from the center console unit. And several other places. I'd tackle that one last.
The windows are controlled through the relay in the driver's door.
All this is shown pretty clearly in the EWD. If you need replacement parts, yo can use some from the later '95-'97 80s (or '96-'97 LX450), but the dash flexi-circuit is unique to the '93-'94 model years.

Many thanks! I do have the EWD so I’ll start chasing. I wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything else I was missing before doing that. It was a mouse hotel so I’m assuming I may have some compromised wires in some places. Thank you again!
