Hey guys got an unusual issue with my series 2 tj sports,

The instrument lights in my dash board go on & stay on whenever I turn on ignition/engine but they wont switch on say when the reds/car is switched off & I flick the lights on.

Lights in centre consul work normal though. just seems strange that these lights are always on, even in broad day light, I purchased the car 3 months ago & noticed it at the dealer, I thought it might of been normal because I tested a TJ LE in the next door car yard & that did the same thing.

IS this normal? does anybody elses instrument lights perminently stay on when car in use??

Cheers for any help in advance guys;)

My TJ 2 is on whenever the ignition is on. Shortly after I got it I was driving along late afternoon and it got dark, I couldn't figure out why everyone was flashing their lights at me. Then it dawned on me that I never turned the headlights on because the dash was already lit up. I got autolights now.

The lights in the dash are LED so they should never burn out and will not use much power.
