Default Dash/control panel lights


My dash works just fine, but I have almost no working lights in the center. Here’s a photo of what actually lights up. Those and the AC orange indicator will come on w my lights at night. Nothing on the shift selector, none of the fan, vent, window, etc. also, but might not be related, the horn isn’t working.

it seems very unlikely that all those lights burnt out, so my mind would go back to what is triggering those lights to come on.....the multi-function switch. Since the horn doesn't work either it makes me ask does that have anything in common with the multi-function switch? They both run through the clockspring. I'm not saying you have a bad clockspring, but just trying to think about this logically. That would be my initial hunch.

I'll look in to that! thank you!

also, I did replace the mulit-function switch about a year ago, but this jeep has been in the shop for 18 months or so, with tons of electrical issues. lol.. I wonder if there's a chance i missed a connection or something when i put that in... i do remember the horn working when i got the jeep initially, but never had the chance to drive it at night to notice if the dash lights all worked previously..

the clock spring diagnosis seems likely, though, as I'm getting the traction control warning light from time to time as well...
