Clock on the warning light

My clock on the warning light goes on and off, it's usually on when I first turn on the car but it gradualy get dimmer and eventurall turns off. I was wondering if this is a CPU problem. also my low fuel level light doesn't work either(my fuel level gauge works though), but my coolant level light and break light does work.

It's probably gettin old, you should check the connections as the back, see if it's loose. If you want to really repair, take it out, and take the 2 circuit boards apart, TAKE extreme care while doin this. I've broken one set already. But buy a solder sucker, and re-solder the old factory joints. Or just heat them up. And let them cool. This is usually the main answer you will get from people on the forum. I hope this helps you out.

Bad connection on back of the idiot lights, or the idiot lights PCB needs resoldering at the connector.

Yeah, that's almost always the idiot light cluster solder joints that go to the connector pins. DC350 has the right idea - remove the old solder and flow in new solder. It will work good as new.
