idiot lights flash on when I hit a bump?
ever since I put my new engine back in ....yeah, it actually works now!!!....
anyway, everytime I hit a bump, all the idiot lights flash off and on???? It must be something with the wiring harness?? Anyone else experience this problem?
thanks

Mine does that sometimes, its not all the lights though, just my clock and the ones that should be on at that time, low fuel or something. I think its bad solders on the idiot lights.

They're flashing cuz for a sec the electrical power's cut. It happens to me when I hit hard bumps. Check for loose wires, particularly ground wires. Check the big ones first, starting at the battery.

check the little plug that is right behind the drivers' side headlight right under the corner of the hood. there is one little black plug that is the power plug for the drivers' side side marker light. if ALL of yours are going out, that is a different story. if you have a haynes manual, it has a good wiring diagram of the wires that come off the cpu. the parking lights are part of the CPUs responsibility. i would check the wiring diagram...

oh ****, you said idiot lights... i thought you meant parking lights. i think amur is right about that one, probably just something grounding in and out... check all the grounds and also check the plug to make sure its not fucked.
