The dash lights have never gone out while in motion, but they have recently refused to come on at start up, causing the car to also refuse to start. As with your problem, the radio/aircon lights would all still be operational. Advice from this group (thanks Grunff) suggested removing the steering column cowling (only a couple of Torx heads) and getting a multimeter to all of the connections. If you have a Haynes manual (or similar) then the wiring diagram will help you work it out. I couldn't find any problems, so I resorted to wiggling all of the wires and hey presto! suddenly all of the problems disappeared. That was a week ago, and it is all still working successfully. I will change the ignition switch eventually as a precaution, but the cause of the problem still has me stumped! Good luck! absgt 1997 9000 CSE 2.3 LPT
