Default Dash Lights Not Working

Like the title says dash lights not working, replaced all fuses. Nothing, my blinkers work, high beam works. The past few days my dash light and back lights were not coming on and i would have to turn them on and off a bunch of time for them to come on and when they did it was very doul. Then this morning my switch was sticking and i was turning it and when i di it loosened up and now nothing come one. It's a 94 cx. thanks in advance

Yes the switch itself is like a little roller wheel that control the brightness of the interior back lighting for all the gauges.

I have had three of them go bad on me - one in each of the 1992 Civics I own/have owned.

Common problem, easy fix.

I could always puch in on my dimmer switch or bump it and my back lights would either come back on or flicker. That's how I realized it was the switch itself in the first place.

mine ended up being the combo switch (lights/signal switch on the steering column) real easy to replace...turn the wheel 90* to the left, unscrew the 2 screws, unplug it, install the new one

That means your parking lights were not working either.

If the OP has working parking lights, but only his interior dash lights are not working, then it's the dimmer switch itself, not the turn signal stalk/lighting switch on the steering column.

Yeah I'm just messing with the guy. It's just that there are sooo many generic replies on message boards, and it doesn't really help at all.
