I found that when they disconnected the buzzer they had cut the excite wire behind the panel.
I jumped a test wire from the cut orange wire to the purple wire behind the key and somewhat shockingly I suddenly had 14.2 volts on the panel and 13.2 at the battery.
Hopefully, that fixes it properly. I'll just rewire and do better connections and call it fixed!
