need help ideas on how to troubleshoot dashboard lights problem



my '93 civic instrument lighting in dash board go on and off intermittently but are off more than on and i can not find the trouble is this a common familiar problem to anyone.



occasionally riding along and they come on then 2-30mins - 2 hours later (random) they will be off, when they are on i can adjust brightness with dash light dimmer switch. i tried wiggling wires, banging dimmer switch, and looking at fuses in fuse box swapping for new one etc and nothing seems to produce the desired Cause/Effect need to diagnose and fix.



any ideas ?

Did somebody change the stereo, or is it original?

'Curly'

intermittently

I changed the stereo to a pioneer deh4500 and i used a OEM style honda connector kit to create a plug for stereo wires to match the honda stereo connector

i can't say if the trouble started at or near the time of stereo change but it is possible

is there something i should be looking for to fix ?
