warning lights + ignition

i DID a search and seemed to be the only answer was "either the bulbs are out or resolder the CPU"..

when i key on, the warning lights no longer come on.. you just hear 2 clunks in the engine bay.. the lights WORK.. but when the car is keyed on and not running the lights no longer come on..

i thought there might be another cause for this -

the car almost stalled on the way to crappy tire when i was getting some oil.. naturally as it nearly stalled (well the revs just dropped low - low enough to make all the warning lights come on).

anyways it did not actually stall, and i was in the parking lot of crappy tire at this time.

so i parked - shut off the car - went inside - got oil - came back out..

keyed on the car, and there was no warning lights.. i thought WTF.. while i said that.. i heard *knock knock* in the engine bay.. im not sure if that is normal, but i may not have been paying the closest attention because normally the lights are on and everything is beeping.

now theres no beeping, no lights.

again, i DID do a search, but the ONLY conclusion is that the CPU need a resolder?

why would a faulty soldered CPU crap out so instantaneously? curious if there is any other solutions.. i would imagine that a crappy solder would have shown other symptoms before it finally went out.. not so instantaneously..

comments anyone?

i must have kicked the CPU by accident or something

i just keyed the car on and tapped the CPU and the warning lights and beeping came on.

so there you have it

the symptoms of a bad CPU before it finally craps out.

the horn beeps funny, and the warning lights dont always operate on keying on the car.

i love answering my own questions.

could probably chalk it up to me searching and posting before i actually try anything.
