HI, MY CRHYSLER CONCORD 94 DOESNT TURN ON THE PANEL LIGHTS OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS TO ILUMINATE THE GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS FUEL ETC. HEAD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS WORKS FINE. SOMETIMES IT WORKS BUT WHEN I MOVE THE KEY TO START THE CAR, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT GET OFF. ALL THE FUSES ARE OK. HELP PLEASE. THANKS....

Piggybacked 99 XJ from 2014 DEC. ok. no biggie.
but what car, same? XJ up to 2001?
op my guess he blew fuse 9 or 16
i bet the self test failed with the OP's car.
but lets talk your car, is it a 99 XJ?
the FSM covers this.
here is the full answer here. see instrument pages, read.

1999 XJ? facts on head,
pdc fuse 16 blown?
cab fuse 9 blown?
self test fails.?
now the hard wired warn LAMPS just this one year 99
seat belts
and low washer fluid
ABS fail.
brake warn. or hand brake engaged
chime inputs. hard wired.
tURNS (L/r) active and high beam.
illumination (back ground glows) works, hard wired TOO.
DEAD LIST.
all else will be dead if COMMs are lost or fuses out. depends on which fuse is dead, if both blown all warns dead and gauges.
meters all dead. with loss of comm and some warns below.
cel dead.
upshift dead
low fuel dead or stuck (stuck on or off is still dead)

the photo below shows why meters die
when comm LINK dies. or 12v power to head.

chech ur fuses or the flasher fuse block

dash light fuse and back feed through a bulb

There is likely a bad electrical connection at the back of the instrument panel. Remove the instrument panel, unplug the connectors, clean the contacts on the plugs and the panel with rubbing alcohol and q tip, and reinstall.

move the key up and down see if come back on , if it does look at ing. switch

i hate light bulbs they allways blow at the worst time
get out your chiltons book and start the dissassembly

Since you just bought the car, I thought that you might not be aware of the instrument lighting control. I apologize if you know this:
The dial on the dashboard to the left of the instrument panel controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Turn the dial to adjust the brightness.
To reduce glare at night, the fuel and temperature gauges dim when you turn on the parking lights or headlights. You then adjust their brightness when you adjust the instrument panel brightness. Turn the dial up as far as it will go to return the fuel and temperature gauges to their daytime brightness.
Hope it's that simple.

there are 2 large terminal plugs with the wiring for all the instruments that are plugged into the back of that panel. make sure they are snug and in place. You reach in and under but it may easier to "simply" remove the cluster. 4 screws hold it in place accessible form underneath and with a long phillips screwdriver and lighting.

check your fuses.

All these are controlled by one fuse, check the instrument panel fuse.
