Default Center instrument panel fluctuating

My center console (vent level, re-circulation, AC) was fluctuating specially on idle/stoplight, sometimes I just tap the console lil bit and they will light up again but the AC need to press to engage the compressor again, and even the stock radio head unit light is on and off at night.

What should I look for to correct this? Battery terminals are fine and very tight, is there a wire/connection that I need to check, please advise. Thanks much!

Check both fuse boxes to see if the fuses are seated correctly. Then check under the dash for any wires showing. Afterwards you may wanna carefully take the thing out and check for lose connections.

Narrow it down to a potential cause. Something you moved or hit while working on the car or moving around.

From what you described the ground is either g401 or g501. The locations are in the pics. Make sure they are not lose or corroded.
