Help! 7 Console lights randomly illuminate

I'm driving along normally and all of a sudden seven of the console lights go on and stay on for a bit, then flick off. This happens totally at random, whether the car is stopped or driving.

I have NO idea whatsoever as to what is causing this. Any ideas?

Possible the switch is going bad, or you have a loose connection on the back of your dash...

I would take the cluster out and inspect it..

Bad switch or connection to the cluster panel.

Mine does the same thing. Try tapping on the plastic surround near the light switch and see if the lights come on or go off.

Its normally your alternator thats about to go when that happens, either that our your belt has snapped, check under the hood and make sure the ALT belt is on and tight, if so might want to go have your ALT and or battery checked

Yes. The ones on the dash, the center console.

I will check my alternator, belt, battery, and watch my voltage gauge closer as I drive. (the voltage gauge is fine right now, I ususally check it every so often)

I'll also bang on the cluster

Thanks for the suggestions
