This morning going to school I noticed my dash lights (speedometer,fuel gauge.. etc) didn't have a backlight. I drive a 94 Cherokee XJ.I had to use the flashlight on my phone to get the speed limit and put on cruise control to avoid speeding as I was unable to see it. Any advice on how to fix this would be helpful.

Tail lights do work as well as the brake lights. And there is a dimmer switch? I will go try turning the light switch now.

Well I don't feel so smart right now. It was the dimmer. I had no clue that was there. Only had the XJ for about 3 weeks now. Thanks.

Dont fell bad... Ive done that to myself the last two times i cleaned the dash lol... Both times it was like a month later i got to "troubleshoot" it... I sadly couldnt remember what it was i did the first time when it happened the second time! 3rd time was my headlight harness grounding out behind a side light... Lol
