In my 01 Wrangler, the dash lights are on the same circuit as the tail lights so if your tail light fuse blows you know because your dash lights go off.

This could be a recall issue but the #1 hobby of newer Jeep owners is adding stupid LED lights everywhere. I would look into that first to eliminate it as an issue.

Enguneers.

A lot of cars are wired that way. I think it’s a safety feature because it’s difficult to know when your tail lights don’t work but it’s impossible to miss the dash lights
