2012 jeep liberty instrument panel lights

Hello all, I have a similar issue on my '12 KK. The light on the left side of the Tachometer will be off or on some days its always on some days its off very hit and miss does anyone have any ideas or found a fix? I did a quick check of the high probability fuses nothing found there. Thanks for any input in advance.


Very Old thread, but when the dash does this, you need a new one, with Odometer set to your miles. I did mine last year, under warranty...

About the Liberty

The Jeep Liberty is a SUV built to transport five passengers. It started production in 2002 until it was discontinued in late 2012. The model was consistently updated with new technology and refined materials and was a contender to match one of the company’s most popular cars in the Grand Cherokee.

The 2002 model was fitted with a 3.7 Litre V6 diesel. This helped the car to match many of its rivals such as BMW, but it wasn’t as refined as the company wanted. As such, in 2005, the option of a 2,8 VM Motori CRD engine was introduced on sportier trims. Then, in 2012, the engine was updated again to a V6 that gave the Liberty a towing capacity of up to 5000 pounds.

The overall ride of the Jeep liberty was excellent. The soft suspension meant that nearly all bumps in the road were absorbed with ease, and light steering made the Liberty nimble and agile, especially for its size. It could feel pretty heavy in smaller areas, but it was never designed to be a city car.

Jeep has never excelled when it comes to the interior of their cars, and the Liberty was no exception. Drivers would find cheap plastics and not much else. Whilst there was plenty of room, the overall look was mundane and cheap.

Thankfully, Jeep balanced this out with a wide range of equipment. This included anti-lock brakes, satellite radio, a satnav, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, and rain-sensing wipers. For its time, the Jeep Liberty was incredibly well equipped, which helped to increase the overall driver experience.

The Liberty was also an incredibly safe car. The only weak points of the vehicle were the sides, but rear and frontal impact excelled in tests.

Common problems with the Liberty included electrical faults, the engine not starting and false readings on the check engine warning light.

What are instrument panel lights?

The master warning light (or instrument panel message) tells you to check other systems for issues. For example, it may illuminate to tell you to check your tire pressure monitoring system or the vehicle's maintenance status. In some cars, it will remain illuminated until the underlying issue is corrected.

What is instrument panel illumination control?

Your car is equipped with several instrument panel lights designed to illuminate the gauges, dials and readouts so you can see them when driving in low-light conditions or at night. You can adjust the brightness of your instrument panel lights as well (whether the headlights are on or not).

Where is the instrument panel light switch located?

Most vehicles have a dashboard light control switch that will dim the dashboard lights as well as turn them off. Find the control switch, dial, or knob, which is generally located on the console near the steering column or may be part of the headlight switch.
