Why are the dash lights and radio not turning off?
Every two weeks or so the dash lights and radio would stay on after shutting down the engine and removing the key. This creates the very real risk of running your battery down. A real issue for me as I spend a lot of time at my bush camp located miles from nowhere.
What to do when your dashboard lights go out?
A car’s dashboard lights control switch can dim dashboard lights as well as turn them on or off. The control panel’s brightness control must be turned on for the dashboard lights to work. Dashboard lights may be disabled as a result of a blown fuse. If this is the issue, the dashboard light fuse, located in the fuse box, must be replaced.

Why are my clock and radio going out?
Had a vey similar issue with the clock and radio resetting themselves and dash lights going out. Turned out the negative battery connection was loose and the tie down bar was not installed properly. 5 min repair to fix both and no issues since. It’s actually a bad idea to allow these voltage swings to occur so get it checked ASAP.
