First, I would check the fueses, below the dash by the drivers feet. If not that, you should check the switch, try inter-changing it, if that doesnt work, you should check for burnt wires. I've had this problem before.
Do parking/tailights work? Should be the same fuse Could be an open in the dimmer rheostat Could be a bad switch
The speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge will not be working on a 1992 Jeep Cherokee if the fuse has been blown. Alternatively, the wiring can become disconnected.
Check the under hood fuses. It may be one of the tiny ones - 20 amp I think.
If the gauge lights on your Jeep will not work and the jeep will not start you could have a dead battery. If the terminals look corroded, It is possible that the terminals just need cleaned.
If this is an electronic unit, the heat generated after the lights are on for one half hour, is affecting the intergrity of the electronic circuit board.

mine did that to. my bf had to take off the dash board and test the circuit board but it may be different for u. call a auto store and ask them.
If you mean the dash board (speedometer, gas guage etc) and not the control board ( it has all the heater, interior lights and so on). The dash board was provided by the company that built the chassis. International, Spartan, Sterling etc. Thats who you need to ask.
Start by checking fuses Then check the light bulbs Some Bonnevilles have “Cluster lights” These should be checked by a dealership or a qualified mechanic
what is wrong when your gages on dash board stop working on your 1997 chevy astro van?
check your fuses
why is my dash board lights not working
A common reason for this is a cracked circuit board in the instrument panel. Do any of the warning lights come on at the same time (ABS, for example)? If you smack the dashboard with your hand sometimes you can make the gauges come on again. It'll likely need a new instrument cluster. --Dennis, ASE Master Tech
Do the interior lights work in the gear selector or the climate controls? If none of them work, suspect a fuse or something else. If it's just behind the gauges and all have gone out, then the board behind the gauges may be fried. But assuming none of those are the case, you'll need to remove the dash and the bulbs are located behind the gauges. Not a task for the timid.
check the fuse and the park lamp relay
There are several things that can cause your 2000 Cadillac dashboard lights to quit working. The most common cause is a blown fuse.
you have to take off the dash board panels. these screws will be over the radio, behind the ashtray, under dashboard over the gauges, and the last set will be on each side of the steering wheel. u can then see the 4 screws for the gauges and just remove screws, reach back and twist bulb out. i would suggest changing all four at the same time because if one goes out they all will. i learned the hard way Is that the only thing not working? check your tail lights. you will still have brake lights but if you blew a fuse your running lights , tail lights and dash are all on the same fuse. mine kept blowing it was a bad ground by the alternator.
the fuse that controls the interior lights, running board,an rear wiper is blown. it is a 15amp fuse in the panel. Also,try the cluster dimmer position since it controls the running board lights and exterior mirror lights as well.This dimmer is located next to the headlight switch.Good luck!
Check your fuses again-use test light. Almost always seems to be a fuse when both tail lights and dash lights aren't working at same time. If that fails, check headlight switch
Check your fuses.
Is there a penny stuck in the lighter port?
