I have a 91 XJS convertible. The dash gauges all work fine. The backlighting does not. Nothing illuminates when the headlights are on . The dashboard rheostat does nothing. I'm supposing it could be the rheostat or bulbs of some kind. I don't want to disassemble the dash until I have some idea what to look for and where to look. My manuals offer little or no assistance. Can anyone help.
Thanks,
Jeff Ford

dashboard lighting
Check fuse #7, 5 amp. Top row in driver side main fuse panel below steering column.
Good luck!
If that does not work, jumper/short out the rheostat.
