Default Lights out: Climate Control and Gauge Cluster...

My friend's 1992 Civic CX had an intermittent problem with the lights in the gauge cluster and climate control going in and out simultaneously.

Now, both units are out completely. Any suggestions to resolve this matter?

that has been done. and since the problem was intermittent, the fuses wouldn't be a factor.

do you mean a loose harness either on the gauge cluster or climate control unit?

Trace the illumination wire. Check at your dimmer switch first.
