Electrical gremlin

Hey all,

I have had a few wierd issues lately...may be related... and its always at night when using headlights.

1. Sometimes the dash lights go out. I think my tail lights go out when this happens. One time I beat on the dash and they came back on. Latey I've found removing the fuse box under the dash helps...so I think its a bad connection

2. For the first time yesterday...when I when to use the horn, my dash lights went out for 2 seconds and came back on...the horn did not sound. I tried this about 3-4 times... then about 5 minutes later, the horn was working fine & no problems with the dash lights.

Any ideas???
