1997 Acura RL instrument panel Sign In

I have a 97 Acura RL that is having strange problems with the intrument panel lighting.

Sometimes (not all the time) when I turn the car on some or all of the instrument panel lighting does not light up. Sometimes it will after a couple of minutes sometimes not. Once it does light up it will stay on until I turn the car off again (at least that is the behavior so far). All the other interior lights seem to be unaffected.

Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Of course a guess but seems like a ground problem?? T

Any idea where I would look for that bad ground or how I might fix it if that is the issue?

Egad! God help me here! I would look for a known common ground to the panel and jumper wire it to known ground for a test and at least once in my life I gave up and added a ground wire, (don't tell anyone) T
