Dash lights quit working
Since I got the car (97 civic lx) I had to move the dial to get the dash lights to come on. Tonight they wouldnt come on at all. Havent noticed anything else not working. Im thinking either loose connection or bulb? Any other suggestions?
I might try and add leds if Im going to have to take it apart anyway...

I agree with gwl, the dimmer switch is a very common problem. But first check whether fuse 30 is blown. Next carefully pry the dimmer switch out of the dash, and then install a jumper wire into the connector such that the red and black wires are connected. The dash lights should now illuminate at full intensity with the key turned to ON(II). If so, replace the dimmer switch.
