Re: What causes the dash lights and radio to cut off and...
Possibly a bad electrical section of the ignition switch. Fairly common, available aftermarket. But check with Honda, too, some of them are less expensive at the dealer!

Same problem here. I took and hooked a jumper wire from +12 volts controlled by the key switch to the small Gray wire coming off of the dashboard plug. This supplies +12 volts directly to the illumination circuit. Don't know what will happen in the future, but my dash, radio, sic, a/c lights all work.
Make sure the radio is wired up correctly,if it is then the radio it's self is causeing the problem.One way to find out for sure is to unplug the radio and see if the lights return to normal.
Actually, I still have the factory-installed radio in my 1999 Honda Accord, and it started cutting out randomly about three months ago. It's some kind of power issue, i.e., when I speed up, it's ok, but when I brake it cuts out. However, once it cuts out, if I hit the power window switch the radio will come back on.
