It means the engine has stalled and the key is on.
Your entire automobile electrical system is grounded to the frame of the vehicle. A loose or corroded ground wire can cause the dash lights to Flickr and the car to stall out.
Do the dash lights come on now that you have put in a new fuse...Does the motor rotate or try to turn over....If not, it sounds like you have a bad ignition switch....
Probably the dash fuse is blown, or the dimmer switch for the dash lights is bad!
Check for a loose ground wire - sounds like lights are backfeeding searching for ground
Which lights?
check the Bulbs
check the fuse for dash lights
Dash lights may have problems coming on because there is a problem with the dash fuse. It is important to get a specialist to check the wiring and the fuse status.
a fuse or fulty wiring the brake lights are useually out the same time as the dash lights if that helps any
Check the dimmer setting for the dash lights. There should be a dial to adjust the brightness on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.
it is located under the steering wheel column. unscrew the cover under the dash and it should be there. that's where it is on my Volvo s80
