I have a problem where my dash indicator lights won't come on. Nothing but the Battery indicator lights. The tack and speedometer don't move. My car is an automatic and I can't take the car out of park. The rear defroster doesn't work either. The car does start. If you manually put the transmission in neutral and start the car you can drive it however it is in limp mode. Every other device that I tested seems to work.

If I press on the fuse box everything turns back on. However the problem keeps getting worse and now I can't keep these devices on anymore. They shut off right after I let go of the fuse box.

What is the problem? Are there fuses that these devices have in common that aren't connecting right in the fuse box? Do I need to replace my fuse box? Is there a relay or ground that they have in common?

I started disconnecting my fuse box in order to put a new one in however there is a lot more connections than I thought so I am rethinking my plan.

Any ideas?

Also nothing note worthy happened before this problem. I drove the the auto parts store a few weeks ago and it was fine. I parked it in my drive way and when I went to leave again it did this to me. I went to leave a few hours later. This problem has been happening for weeks now. No prior problems.

Thanks in advance.

No one has any idea on how to fix this issue?

 

Wow comon guys. A little help here.

Since noone has responded I bought a used fuse box off of ebay. $26 shipped. Good price. Hopefully it will fix my loose connection regardless of the problem. The connections seem to be fine. I checked them when I took the old fuse box out.
