Default Warning Lights for Charging System & Brake

As of late, my battery has being going dead while I'm driving. In an
effort to track down the problem (battery or charging system), I
starting paying closer attention to the Charging System warning light
in the instrument cluster only to realize that it does not work. With
the key on but before starting, neither it nor the Brake warning light
illuminate.

The Oil Pressure warning light works fine. I swapped bulbs around and
found no problem with them. I checked fuses but am unsure which one
applies.

Any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this (or what fuse I
specifically need to examine)?

Hello
I looked up the connection to Brake & Ign lights. Both are routed through
Connector block 'C' . pin 3 is Brake warning light, and pin 4 is Ignition
light.

Thanks, Gordon. Any idea where the fuse for these is? I just need to
take a look and either rule it out or replace it.

Hello
There doesn't appear to be any individual fuses for these panel indications,
these two and others are all connected to common A7+, but there is a diode
D2 across term'ls C3 & C4, if this goes faulty, it could prevent both lights
operating. I think!
