My dash board lights stopped working on my 93 Civic. I think it maybe
the dimmer switch that went bad. I need to check the fuses first, just
to be sure that is not it.

If it ends up being the dimmer switch, anyone know where I can get a
new/used switch.

It ended up being the switch. I took it out after checking all the
fuses and played with it a bit. Put it back in and it worked.
Probably dirty contacts, I will have to get some contact cleaner and
spray it in there if it starts to act up again.

I use WD-40 to clean followed by contact lubricant that can be obtained
from Radio Shack..
