Dash lights/ climate lights HELP please

I have a '92 prelude. And at night when i have my lights on sometimes the climate lights aren't on. So then i smack the dash and they pop on like it has a short or bad connection or something perhaps? Anybody know what that would be or how to fix it?
Also, when i have low fuel the low fuel light never comes on. And when i have the trunk popped that light doesn't come on. Along with like half of those other warning lights. half of them work and half don't basically. I was wondering if the bulbs had burnt out or what? Any help would either of these problems would really be appreciated
Thanks

have you checked your fuses?

Nah i haven't checked the fuses yet. I'll check those and get back.

Sometimes the wires get loose. I have a similar problem on mine where the rear defroster does not go on unless you give it a good smack. Obviously not the best way to fix it, but taking out the dash is a huge bitch.
