I just bought a 96 Town & Country and the dash lights dont come on. The
previous said he checked all the fuses which I assume the ones under the
hood but all were good . Is this a common problem ? I hope someone in
this fine group has some helpful info on this matter. Thanks!

No not a common problem. If you checked the fuses and they are ok, you will
need to check the switch. A good scan tool would make things easier and less
work

Thanks Glenn . Are you talking about a scanner that plugs in the
diagnostic port / connection under the dash ? And would that pinpoint
the exact problem area ? The check engine light is not on while the
engine is running and it not being on would indicate no fault codes
,right ? So would the lighting problem still show up although the check
engine  light is not on with engine running . Im wondering if the key
switch method would work ( to access  the codes) if  was a trouble code
was stored wouldnt the light be on or would a lighting problem show up
there and not alert the check engine light to come on?  Hmmm.  Thanks

A scan tool will see what the inputs and outputs to the BCM are. A body
fault code will not set the check engine lite on. And yes it would be the
same connection under the dash. No it would not pinpoint a problem, it
would be part of the diagnois of the problem.
