Default Dash lights cut out when i hit bumps, wtf?

i drive a 95' civic dx and when im driving at night and i hit a bump, the lights on the dash cut out, but the buttons for stuff like the a/c still light up... my gauge cluster lights stay on, but the ones on the dash turn back on for a little while, (if im lucky), when i hit another bump... HELP =/

Grounding out somewhere... Also look for any semi-loose wires. It could be that when you a bump the wire connection might be coming loose.

I was driving and I hit a bump on the freeway and my dash is after market(don’t know brand got it like this) and my dash turned of then went on for about 2 seconds and then turn off completely the only thing that turns on is my signals and shows high beams and but my led lights won’t turn on they are the kind that switch color do you think my dimmer is broken or what fuse to check it is grounding somewhere Need help ASAP I already spent too much of relays and clutch safety wires
