I Have The SAme Problem My Dash Wont Light Up, Ive Checked My Fuses And There All Fine. Help Us Out

 

You might want to check your headlight switch. This happened to me a couple of years ago. I had to replace the headlight switch. All the gauges were working, but without lights....hopefully this helps.

 

is it hard to swap out ???

 

Nahhh, it only took about a half hour once I found the right screws to undo....simple replacement.

 

That'd be my guess too. Good luck, let us know what ya find!

 

My dash light went out after i installed a new radio in my car and have been tryin to fix it since.

 

Headlight switch, mine you have to jiggle.....

 

ok so baaad things now have happend

1 dash lights still out
2 gauges are out
3 beeps none stop " beeps like when u leave lights on"
4 random lights come one like part time flashes when blinker is on
5 when i go to turn it off it stays on for a bit an dies out later

wtf do i do ??????????

 

I would still check/replace the headlight switch. It should address your lighting issues along with your "beeping". As for your gauges being out, you might have a loose connection behind your cluster. For that you will have to pull out the dash assembly/bezel to get at it. Are ANY of your gauges working??

 

Look that happened to me when i installed a deck in my jeep so this is what i did i took it out and i hooked it directly to my battery then i put it back in and then I changed all the fuses and now my instrument panel works fine hope this helps.

 

check your clusters wiring, some xj's had bad wiring behind them and need to be fixed soon. The first thing I would check would be the grounds then the individual wires then the whole harness if necessry. But I do not know everything and nor do I want to. Good Luck!

 

Same problem with mine, have no dash or console lights until i turn aftermarket radio power on! Headlight switch still operates the dome light though? Problem with wiring the aftermarket radios in?
