warning lights won't turn off!
two nights ago, i was driving along and all of a sudden all the warning lights on my dash turned on (except for the seat belt and parking brake lights). the rest of the car was fine (engine, gauges, radio, etc...)
for a while they would turn off when i went over a big bump, but now they constantly stay on.
the first thing i checked was the alternator belt. it was fine (i replaced it only a month ago). then i had the alternator checked at autozone and it was fine.
besides a faulty ECU, what else could be causing this? i have a feeling it's a lose wire or a bad relay somewhere since for a while the lights were affected by bumps on the road.
any thoughts besides "you're screwed since its probably a nasty electrical problem somewhere"?

today i ran over a big bump and they went off again. so it really is looking like a loose connection somewhere. is there any line that comes off the alternator that is used to illuminate the warning lights?
