Hey Gina I have had the same problem intermittently with my 89-900s. I was told by my mechanic that cleaning the contact of the bulbs by unscrewing and screwing might help. I believe he mentioned that the way to access the bulbs is via the grille above the dash board. I am not sure if this will work as I have not have the need to do it yet. Good luck and let us know if it works.
