When I turn my ignition on none of my dash lights come on. When I start up the choke light comes on and stays on. Also when I turn on my headlights the warning buzzer comes on even though it's running. This happened like throwing a switch. Was fine and the next its doing this. This van is still running fine and everything else works and performs perfect. Still runs great. The choke is not stuck by the way. This is electrical and I put in a brand new ignition switch and key about a year ago. Please help

Check the connector for the ignition switch. All the power for the items listed are powered by the ignition switch

It is the one on the ignition switch. It is under the dash at the bottom of the steering column
