Default dash lights going out, and sometimes come back on....gurus needed
my friend's 93 civic's dash light cluster is out, if you hit the dash board sometimes they will blink or go back out then out again, so the bulbs are good. I am thinking there is a short somewhere. Im a VW person so i dont know anything about this civic. A point in the right direction on what to check would be great. All fuses are good

TIA

it might be the headlight switch or the dimmer switch...

mine use to do that... it was the dimmer switch. I got one from a junkyard for somewhere around $3-$5.
