Instrument cluster

Instrument cluster
After a short time the instrument cluster on my 1996 XJ6 completely illuminates, all warning lights flash on and off and instrument dials go haywire, the cars performance is unaffected? Can anyone advise what the cause might be? One garage diagnosed a faulty alternator which I replaced but the problem remains.

Brendan and CountyJag speak truth. Pull the coil cover off and then fire it up on a dark night and observe the coils as it idles. If any are producing visible light, as in a little lightning show down in the yellow goop, that'd be your culprit. "After a short time..." sounds like it may start failing after initial warm-up..so do the dark test at similar conditions as to when the IP flashes at you.

One thought is the fuse for the instruments comes out of the LH heelboard fuse box with it's king relay
You can swap that relay with the LH engine fuse box king relay which in reality only honks the horn
If you have a suspect coil the swelling if bad may be able to be seen as a crack on the thick cylinder and some have seen bad boot sections on the skinny part
