Digital part of dash ???? Instrument cluster , gauges etc.... Have the instrument cluster checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's , yes the instrument cluster an the BCM - body control module (GEM)
Have 2004 lincoln town car: digital part of dash j - lincoln town car instrument cluster-hn5yx0wggexf1stjxkhlqwlg-3-0.gif Is this what your instrument cluster looks like ?

Principles of Operation
The instrument cluster is a hybrid electronic instrument cluster (HEC). The instrument cluster gauges, warning indicators, and message center displays are either controlled and driven directly through hardwired circuitry, or the information is requested and received through the standard corporate protocol (SCP). The instrument cluster has self-test diagnostics capabilities using the diagnostic tool.

Testimonial: "Yes that is the instrument cluster....what is the diagnostic tool? How does one self test it?"

Dash lights and ac stoped working after installing anew stereo. is it just a fuse or relay

this sounds like a fuse problem,you will have to check the fuses in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.also check the headlight switch to make sure the dash dimmer switch wasn`t accidentally turned off.

Lincoln town car

You either have a short in the switch and the vibrations are intermittely making contact then no contact in rapid succession or a wire is loose to the switch. Is it just the headlights or just the dash lights or all lights, all lights I would suspect the switch, if just the dash lights the dimmer switch.
