Hey guys, My light for the dash doesn't come on anymore! I haven't looked yet but my stepdad thinks it may be a ground issue since sometimes my fan for cabin air circulation doesn't come on, but that is only like once a month and the light doesn't come on at all. Any ideas? I will start with the light bulb but figured I'd ask.

try checking your fuses man, there is a fuse for all those under the dash

When my dash lights died so did my "Running lights" Power to the tail lights(i.e. when the rear lights are on but not braking").
Found this out the hard way when I was pulled over by a Cop when I had my Purple Coupe. I had to replace that fuse twice in the 2 years or so I owned that coupe.
Hope that helps with your issue.

Pull off your glovebox and look at the blower motor. On top of it is a plug harness and two screws holding down a rectangle plastic cover. Remove the screws and pull out what will probably be one of the weirdest looking things in your car. It will be three coiled wires that act as resistors. These are cooled by the blower, making them exposed to open air and they often get damaged by moisture or debris. The good news is that you can get another one from any 88-00 Civic or any Integra.
If not that then check your under hood fuses, although fuses rarely blow without a reason. If a fuse is blown, you almost always have to fix an electric problem before replacing it.
Since your parking lights work, this rules out the dimmer switch which is the most common cause of your cluster light problem. Have any modifications been done to the cluster? It almost certainly is some problem with the cluster itself.
