    Dash lights flashing..

    ok people.. i come to you once again with a problemo.. last week... the oil light would come on, and blink and flash and go out once the rpm's climb.. then turn off then come back on later.. so i changed the oil pressure switch... on the back of the block, between the oil filter and the intake mani.. now within the last few days the BATTERY light is doing the same thing.. and sometimes when i put the blinker on it would blink along with the blinker. the battery is good. so is the altenator.. the charging system is working fine. Sooo.. someone point me in the right direction please...

        Is the car acting strange? If it isn't, it might be a fuse for the dash. The battery light blinking with the blinkers gives it away.

          The battery light blinking is usually something telling you tha the charging system is insufficient. I would check you battery and your alternator to see if its charging properly.

                1)-clean your grounds more or less your battery terminals and check the condition of your negative battery cable.

                2)-if your battery/ charging light is blinking there a problem somewhere..its not running as it should. just because your battery and alternator are good doesn't mean your starter solenoid, or starter motor is bad. i say that since you say it tough to start sometimes. and the starter is a subsystem of the charging system. so check your starter and the clean up the connections. check for CEL'S. finally as 93ex said check your fuses to.

                3)- a third possibility is a bad or faulty ignition switch. but check your grounds 1st then your starter.

                4)- i guess your not on a lucky streak with your car..

                  check all your connections, make sure your battery cables are clean and tight, check the plug into the alternator, it may be a little loose or have corroded terminals. hope you find the problem

                    flashing lights are idot lights. means somethings wrong with your car. hows your oil. my oil pressure light came on right before i blew my engine. it flashed a me cause i spun a bearing. you could have a blown engine. but its still running. um does your car want to stall at idel or what. how long has this been going on. need more info. when it started, oil level, oil psi, what. your losing oil pressure somewhere.

                            theres one under the starter and on the fram of the car right by the battery and i think thats it. just follow your black ground wire from the battery.
