Where the heck is the fuse box? Tc2000

Hey guys, my apologies if this has already been answered. I have looked and looked for this info to no avail.
I have been converting our 96 Bluebird TC2000 5.9/545 FE for the last 6 months. I can see the light! Now there seems to be an issue. I removed all bulbs,headlights blinkers and rear end to paint. Battery died on me as well so that was replaced. When painting was done I rep look aced all bulbs with LEDs and that's where the problem lies.
All lights work minus the blinkers and for some reason the back up warning. I figured it may be a fuse issue but I can't find any fuse box. Where the heck is it? Everything worked as it should before paint and I messed with nothing electrical. Thank you in advance for any help guys. I'm pretty bummed.

It probably has all circuit breakers. Inside door under drivers side window. Breakers are self resetting.

I have a 99 A3FE Bluebird. I also have a second fuse box underneath the bus, about below the driver seat. Be careful, BIG power cables in there.

My 1998 FE TC2000 has a lever just left and behind the drivers seat to open the fuse panel on the outside of the bus to the left of the driver.

Also, there is a hidden relay and breaker panel. Open the left front wiper motor panel and behind that there is a metal panel with a screwed on cover behind that.

MY 1999 TC1000 has a fuse-panel on the "front" side of the dash display, hiding behind a screw-in cover. It also has self-resetting circuit breakers on the "electrical panel" below the driver's side window. The fuse for the brake lights was out, and it drove me crazy trying to find the wires, since BlueBird will not supply a full wiring diagram to me. These super-cool-cats clued me in:

I attached pics of my dash.

While I haven't seen this as a fact in my bus, from what I have seen, I bet the gauge is all electric, no cable from the tranny or rear-end to the gauge. That could be a speed sensor or the gauge or a fuse or a wiring connector. A quick fix is to get a dash-mounted GPS system that tells you the speed you are traveling. I did that with my 30year old truck when the gauge was bad and no new ones were available.
