Have a 96 LX

I notice that at night (obviously) I turn my car on and my P, R, D, etc lights are not lit. I have to bang it once to get them to light up. Does anyone know what the issue could be? I 'm guessing loose wiring somewhere. Maybe fuse related? Probably not because then it wouldn't light up at all. Right?

 

their is are bulbs that need to be replaced.

 

Not sure if they are the same but, had headlight problems with my 97. Daytime running lights not working, high beam sometimes, usually only one light. chimes at odd times, ect. Found nothing wrong with the wiring or relays. Finally after much digging, ripping and tearing, cursing, found a relay under the driver side dash, hidden by the steering shaft. This is stand on your head access. Found a grey box about 2"x3"x1". inside was the control relays for headlights. Had to use a 10x magnifier to see that most of the solder joints on the relays had broken connections. Used a fine soldering iron to redo the connections and all problems went away.

 

I'll look into that. Not to annoying yet but don't want it to get worse.
