Beeping Noise and Gauges fail to work?

[MeSHOYouHow]

93 atx, when i turn the key on i can hear 5 beeps from the passenger side dash. My tach and dummy lights dont work. What is weird is that the fuse is still good (number 8 on the box). Also the dimmer lights still work for the gauges. My auto lights dont work either. My car seems to run just fine, if not better. The only thing i could think of would be the Cam sensor.? There appears to be some oil leaking out of the valve cover gasket on to what appears to be the cam sensor. Also my air bag light did blink before this went bad, i just never paid attention to it. Help me please.

I think the beeps are a warning because airbag light is not working anymore. Sounds like you have a short or broken wire somewhere for the dash lights.

Possibly the ignition switch, depends on what all works and doesn't. If none of the idiot lights work when the ignition is first turned to RUN, I would first focus there or on F18 in the I/P fusebox. F18 also supplies power to the Autolamp sensor, the O/D off switch, the Low Oil Relay, and the chime module.

The beep is probably from the airbag computer/power supply module

The oil leak is probably the oil seal behind the cam sensor. If the cam sensor was faulty, you would not have a well running engine.
