    rzanh, i have the same problem as you. my dash lights only works when head lights are off. i recently installed a new stereo system and I thought that I may have burnt a fuse doing so and lead to this situation.

    Did you do anything that may have caused this?

    TysMagic: thanks for the advice.

    I also already tested the dimmer knob for the dash lights and that isn't the cause. I checked the fuse box in the trunk and under the hood and that isn't the cause either. Is there another fuse box located inside the car that I'm missing?

Rzahn: I found the solution to our problem. You just need to replace the fuse inside the car. Please check this link to get a detailed description of locating the fuse inside the car.

Make sure the dash lights aren't turned down first of all. I know that sounds basic, but I've seen it happen before. Believe the twist is near the knob to adjust the steering wheel which is lower steering column left hand side. Otherwise, I would check fuses to be sure. finally, the last thing I would do it pull the gauge cluster and check connections as well as bulbs.

2004 Jaguar, Vaden Plaus,car just quit running going down the road. Had to have it towed home Won't start,turns over, just won't start,says Restricted Performance.

Sounds like it is some type of 'limp home' mode.
It could be anything. It might be as simple as a bad Fuel Pump Relay. When you turn the Key to the ON position (not Start) can you hear a little buzz for about 1 second? That would be your fuel pump running. You need to see if the engine is getting gas and spark.

I don't know about this particular car, but you may have a relay problem as all the functions on main lights are done by relays due to the high current required, I would say your fuses are okay as you can get all the lights lights to work using a different control relay - if I have understood you correctly.

2001 XJ8 Vanden Plas engine light

I've had the same problem on my 2001. It turned out to be the battery. Apparently the voltage had dropped to the point that the computer began to malfunction. I'd first go to a battery shop and have it checked under load before looking for other solutions.
