Dashboard backlights flicker on/off on bumpy roads or hard turns

My problem's not too bad compared with some of the other doozies around here, but it's still annoying enough to need fixing.

The dashboard backlights behind the tachometer and the speedometer (I have the standard speedometer in the center, not the chrono pack) flicker on and off when I hit bumps or hard turns. It's obviously a loose connector somewhere, but where? All the other backlights and lights work properly, including all the radio, heating/cooling, warning, etc., lights. I am only having trouble with the orange/red backlights behind the tachomoter and speedometer dials.

Has anyone else seen this problem? My dealer had a look at it and claimed they fixed it, but they obviously didn't. The problem showed up within a day or two of their returning my car to me.

Thanks in advance!
