I had to replace my headlight switch on my 93 because it was the cause of my dash lights not working. I kept blowing the fuse for the the dash lights and the problem was fixed after I put a new switch in

Check the fuse first, if that's not it then probably gonna be the switch.

When I bought my 99 xj, the dash lights didn't work. Checked the fuse and it was blown. So I replaced it and it blew again. Checked the rest of the fuses and found a couple others were blown and some were the wrong amperage. Got the right fuses in and haven't had a problem since.
