My 92 Prelude has recently had a set of problems. The parking lights, shifter lights and speedometer light have all recently stopped working. In addition, the dimmer switch for the dash has stopped working as well. I thought it may all be connected to a fuse problem and have checked every one I can think of, but they all are fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sounds like you have a ground proble. Remove and clean all grounds connected to the battery including the battery to the engine, battery to the frame and engine to the firewall. They must be shiny clean
