2000 Accord guages going crazy
My gauges and radio started coming and going recently.
- There is no check engine light on, however the battery, all door and trunk lid lights are on and the brake lamps light is also on.
- The car starts and runs normally. The gauges and radio are the only issues that I've noticed so far. All lights, windows, etc work as normal.
- The gauges and radio seem to work in two scenarios:
1. They will work when the blower fan is on position 4 (highest setting) AND the accelerator is being pressed.
2. The gauges and radio will work when the blower fan is OFF and the brake is being pressed.
The gauges and radio will come on when either of the two above scenarios is true and then will go back down (as if car is turned off) when either condition is not met.
Anyone seen this before? Any good places to start trouble shooting?
Thanks

I have a tester and will test it at lunch. I know the battery light is on but charging system is not my first guess. It's easy to check for sure and I'll rule it out but I'm thinking relay, maybe mutilplex control unit, or ignition switch?
