WTF? All my dash lights are on!?!?!?!??!!?

So I was driving last night, driving normaly too, and all of a suden all my dash lights came on. ALL OF THEM. (like door light, oil light, exh light, coolent and ect.)
and they've stayed on.. the car runs fine, but why would all the lights come on? when this happened it DID smell like something was burning but then the smell went away and the lights stayed on even after i turned the car off and back on...

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

That's funny, lol, the same thing happened to me. I was like . Did everything go for ****. Mine stayed on for like 2 or 3 days and then just went away. I never really had time to bother with it. It happened to my car went it is super humid outside. Funny **** happens to my car when it's humid. Like lately my interior lites come on when you open the door from both sides now=luxury, before it was only form the passenger side.

As far as a fix, sorry bud, good luck
