Default Headlamp Warning Buzzer

I installed a complete aftermarket stereo system in an 89 Corvette that had a Bose system. I eliminated all the Bose amps, speakers, and deck. I used a Metra wiring harness adapter. Everything as far as the stereo system works fine. The problem I have is when you turn on the headlights, with doors closed and car running, the headlamp warning buzzer/dinger/chime/ whatever you want to call it won't shut off. The second problem is the heater/air conditioning unit panel ( below the deck location) won't work at all. The third problem is, and I have no idea if this is related at all, but this info center ( above the deck) is illuminating " Anti-Lock" . I have been around Vette's, Bikes, Drag cars, Race boats, Hot Rods all my life. I am a custom car and Hot Rod builder, mech, body tech, painter, fabricator, welder. This has me baffled.....

The problem with chime and HVAC controller is a blown 10A Gages fuse, located in main fuse panel.
The ABS controller also use the Gages fuse, so hopefully that is the only problem with ABS.

I checked all the fuses on the fuse panel on the right hand side of the dash. Is there another fuse panel I am not seeing?? GM notorious for hiding fuse panels !!
