Dead battery: Interior lights won't shut off

[BobK]

Once you take off the panel under the steering wheel, there are a few of those screws that hold the dash to the metal dash frame.

I understand OCD.

Well I was in full OCD mode this morning. I pulled the Jeep into the garage and started taking apart the dash and found the home for the two extra bolts!

They held the plastic part of the dash around the instrument panel to the metal dash underneath. They really weren't holding anything and probably didn't need to be removed in the first place, but they appeared to be holding the instrument cluster (but weren't).

I am a happy camper and all the screws are back where they belong.

I know this is an older post but I just found it trying to diagnose the same problem. This is probably the most helpful and time saving thing I have ever come across - many thanks for sharing your struggles!
