Hello,

It is likely a fuse that is blown and made the dash light inoperative.
Check the fuse box under the dash. It should be the number 15 fuse, 10A.
Test and replace as necessary.

As for the door, these police interceptors does not have the rod that connects the inside handle to the latch. You will have to take apart the inside door panel and install new rod for the latch.

I have attached the diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
