Connector behind dash

Redfish could be correct on this one! I know my 69 had a "extra" equipment feed sitting there when I did a rebuild! Your cluster lights power run does come from your light switch. Do you have any other insturment lights on the dash (as per...ash tray, heater light) and do they work? I still suggest that you probe your spades on that connector and find out first if you have just battery power, Acc power or both coming out of it! If nothing at all, start making some conditions (lights on, switches etc) to see what switch makes power to the connector. If it is a extra feed, check your light switch connector for a loose spade or put your hand up to your cluster connector and lightly give it a push with your fingers to see if the dash light come on.
Here is a nother basic drawing.
