Ceck to see if your tail lights are working. some cars are set up that way to let you know that your tail lights are not working
AnswerMost cars have a sliding switch that adjusts the intensity of the dash lights, if you turn the knob (or adjust the slider. . . whichever) and nothing happens, then the switch is probably either gunky or dead. Spray some electrical cleaner in there and work it around and if nothing changes, it probably needs replacement.And if that don't work, check the 5 amp fuse.

I would check the rear bulbs. I just had this issue and it ended up my brother had used the wrong bulb, and odd enough it caused the brake lights to stay on with headlights. When headlights were not on and you applied the brakes the dash would light and brake lights worked. Strange, HUH? I must admit before this revelation, I replaced headlight switch and brake switch, with no avail.

Why would the dash console lights fail to come on when the headlights are turned on on a 1997 Ford Contour?
Check the fuses. There's usually a separate switch for the dash lights, which willmake them brighter or dimmer. It may be turned down too low. Check to make sure parking lights work as well, if they do not then could be the headlight switch as there was a recall on them.
