Daniel....if none of your dash accessories are working and were feed from the purple wire, check them. One may have gone to ground. The fuse on the block is actually the feed for the purple wire through the ignition switch.

Is your charging system working?The purple wires throughout your electrical system is keyed 12 volt supply.There is also a purple wire that feeds the 12 volt source to the Reg/Rec.if your engine still has the original.
