Huh?? Check your fuse panel for any blown fuses. Also might have a bad headlight switch.

Default Dashlights Fix

My 96 Classic was doing the same crap,the 1st time It was a fuse and I had Dash Lights Back for about a week,the next time they started the "dimmly flickering" thing you said happened to you,when I would wiggle the headlight switch they flickered a couple of times then just quit. I went and bought a new headlight switch yesterday and all is well again.Just a little note,to change out the switch you have to remove the "knee guard" panel then pull out the switch to turn on the lights,come up from underneath and feel around with your finger,there is a little button on the bottom of the switch that you need to push in and hold while you pull on the **** and shaft,it will pull right out,then you just have the nut that goes in from the fron 1 plug with several connections and a ground plug,the ground is in the front on the replacement switches not sticking out of the back like the original.I had to remove the instrument panel as well to get to where I could access the switch well enought to unlock the "2" switch tabs so that I could unplug it,It is a son of a gun and not fun ,took me about an hour,I could do another one in 10 minutes so hopefully what I went through in the Discovery process will help you out a bit. The switch almost 25.00 with tax so not too bad....Vegas
