interior lights going crazy!!!! help!

[hckyplya8]

Ok so when i start my car (cold start) sometimes my cluster doesnt light up and i give a whack on top of the dash and it comes back on... also my temperature controls and all those lights almost never work! sometimes they come on when i hit a big bump and then they go back off! Also my brake light on the cluster will come on and off but once it is fully warm it stays off! Im not sure if its linked with this problem but my dome light wont ever come on when i open and close the doors only when i turn it on from inside the car! does anybody know what could be causing these problems?

If i was you I'd start checking the ground wires around the dash, are you having any other electrical problems with headlights or taillights?

No the headlights and tail lights are good never had a problem with either

Sounds like bad bulbs

You think all of those bulbs are bad?

If a bulb was bad it wouldn't cause all of your interior to do that, so that's why i think it's a ground common to them that may be loose or corroded.

But also go ahead and confirm your bulbs are all good before you rule out that.

Its either that or a loose connection. Always start with the obvious
