Seeing how I dont know if this is during the night or day, most berettas have daytime and automatic nighttime lights. The dashboard and the lights are connected together and if the sensor is saying that its daytime they are going to switch. I suggest checking your daytime running light sensor to see if it is getting to much saturation of light while driving at night. This could be confusing the computer and turning off the lights. Cant guarentee that this is fix it but its a good place to start.

Why does my dashboard lights flash on and off when I break? battery and oil light turn on red before car shuts off. car will restart but shuts off again after driving a short while and repeats.

Have the check engine light scanned for codes related to this problem first. You may have a charging system issue causing low voltage resulting in the lights flashing/stalling.

Dashboard lights and gauges go out, windows won't work

Your alternator is out. Those are classic symptoms of alternating going out. The alternator recharges your electrical system and when it goes out a list of strange things go on inside the dash, and you won't be able to go very far on just a battery. I'm glad you at least made it home. But yes you will need a new alternator for sure. Please rate this response so I can get my ratings back up to 90% at least.

My 2006 town and country dash lights just shut off - While driving Dashboard lights shut off. I have no speedometer , blinkers or brakelights! Back break lights are not working. Radio still works though....

This going to sound really weird but....... I worked for many many years and i still try to keep up on things, that said, I learned through very reliable mechanics that where the wires crome through the drivers door, inside of that rubber tube there developes a break in the wires causing the aforementioned problem, I cannot guarantee this is your issue, but if it is it'll save you a lot of headaches and money diagnosing it. And btw if you develop a hard start issue I can tell you how to fix that one to, from personal experience on my 2008. Leaky injectors that are way less expensive at Chrysler than the aftermarket ones.

2005 Pacifica lights dashboard gauges etc. started blinking like a crazy light show inside the car. Car stalled & wouldn't start again. We jump started it and it started within minutes of the charge....

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica dashboard lights are completely black. I was driving along and I applied the brakes and the whole car went black. It didn't shut off but all the lights went out in the inside. I pulled over and turned the headlights off and back on and the radio, temp, and headlights came back on. But the cluster instrument panel (dashboard lights) wont. We have changed the fuses several times and the panel lights up for a couple of hours, but every time we apply the brakes to stop the fuse blows and the panel is back dark. Help me plz, I am a single mother, full worker and full student on a tight budget and I need all the help possible. plz email me at [email protected] if you know whats wrong with my Pacifica.

While driving down road the interior lights won't shut off. I am sure it is a matter of the wrong button or setting but not finding answer in owners manual.

Interior lights are usually activated manually by the dimmer switch. When you turn your dashboard lights all the way up to bright, there is usually a small click that will turn on the interior lights as well. Just slightly turn the dimmer down until the click shuts off the unwanted lights. Good luck

Lights on the dashboard switch on and off by themselves

it sounds like a possible short in the manual adjust switch or dash light relay.
