To check the lack of warning lights in KP-II:

Remove the small red wire from the alternator's D+ tab. Connect a jumper clip between the end of it and a certain ground, like the braided strap between the firewall and cam cover. Check if the warning lights now come on.

If they do, then the alternator and its ground wire make up the primary suspects. Often it is just short brushes.

If they do not light, then the trouble is between the end of that red wire and the ignition switch - a lot of possibilities, but if the cluster hasn't been touched in a while, the more likely place for trouble is under the front crank seal where that red wire disappears into the harness.

If it is a no-start even with a charged battery, that's going to be a separate issue. And don't expect fuse 4 to be hot (energized) with key on engine stalled, except for a second.
