I have a 99 XJ which has been blowing the 5 amp fuse for the dash lights (instrument panel illumination, center stack illumination, etc).
I replaced the headlight/dimmer switch with a known good unit and ran to the store to buy some more fuses, replaced it in the parking lot. On the way home it got dark so I turned on the lights to check them, they worked fine and I drove home with the lights on.
When I pulled into the driveway I shifted it to 'Park' and the instrument panel lights immediately went out.
What could possibly cause this?
Electrical troubleshooting isn't my strength so any good suggestions to start checking things out would be helpful.
Thanks for any help, Keith
