yo browner!!!

Worden and  me fixed the same thing in rhinos old jeep.
I just removed all the consoles and the light switch and
reattached them and the lights on the dash then came on.  
Don't really know what was causing them to not come on but
we got it fixed.

What you are experiencing is tremendously common on TJ's.  Its a result of a poor connection to your instrument cluster.   There was a Technical Service Bulletin on this.  Under warranty they would replace the cluster.  This isn't necessary.  You need to get your Cluster out.  Then gently twist the pins and use a little dielectric grease.  Then reassembly your dash.  This should take care of your problem.
