Default 89 Prelude Electrical Weirdness

My trusty old Prelude started acting a little funny this week. First the light for the speedometer/rpm/fuel dashboard went out, so I assumed blown bulb, change it and be done. The next day my headlights stuck open--they work and all, but they wont close. Seeings neither has ever happened before, I was wondering if anybody knew if this could be related--like a blown fuse, or is it a just a big coincidence. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Loose electrical connector....Check ALL your connectors you think might be causing your intermittent electrical havoc.

Oh and dont forget your grounds. If any of your grounds are loose your dirty, clean them and tighten them down.

If your motor's have died on the headlights be sure to leave the open/close switch in whatever position they're in. I had this happen on my old 2g lude, and if they're open and you leave the button on close it will drain your battery.
