    Electrical system problem shooting for2009 honda civics?
    I have a 2009 Honda Civic hatchback DX. And when you turn the headlights on all of the gauges quit working. When you turn the turn signals on the hazard lights start flashing. But when you turn off the lights the gauges start working again. Anybody got a clue to what the problem is ?
