Ok this has been happening over and over to me and now its really pissing me off because I have to spend money on fuses over and over again. Now I have read that its the TCU yet mine is not faltered. My gauges went out for a bit and then I went to my hatch and pulled out all bulbs and light harnesses and started plugging in one by one. And I wiggled the little grouping of wiring in the upper right corner of hatch into the frame of car. It worked. So that went on for about the past two weeks. Now I was driving home from work just a few hours ago and I was shifting from second to third and they went out; tail lights and gauge cluster. I think it was just weight transfer but I have no clue. But besides that I have no clue waht to do anymore. Anyone else have this problem? What should I check for and where.

update- I replaced all dead bulbs in my parking lights all around car. Heres the wierd thing- My brake lights ALL light up when I press on them so I'm not 100% sure but I believe those work so why wouldnt my park lights? The two lights on my rear fenders dont light up period and I dont ever recall them lighting up. My front turn signals both work and both my rears. Some say its my actual light switch but I doubt that. I have read that it was my TCU also (white box near kicker panel) but I thought if it was burnt out it would stop working period yet it came on for the past three weeks besides last night. Sooo yea I need help ASAP- I have no other car to drive in the mean time.
