Default Digital Compass/Temp. and Dash lights turn off when headlights turn on

2000 4dr 4x4 v6

With just the daytime running lamps on, my digital compass and temperature (on the headliner in front of rear view mirror) and my dashboard lights (speed/odo/etc) all work properly.

However, when it gets dark and the headlights turn on (or I turn them on manually) all my interior gauges turn off completely.

It started this past winter after hitting a big pot hole, and no amount of smacking the dash board has seemed to fix anything.

I can live with the problem, it just gets a little irritating having to turn on my dome lights or use a flashlight to be able to see my speed and gas gauge at night.

Any ideas? Thanks
