Default WARNING InDiCaToRs!!!

My low fuel, washer fluid, and check oil lights all come on and flicker and turn off and onperiodically.. Sometimes they stay on for awhile and other times they will flicker until the car warms up... What could this be?? what should i check...

Check a wiring diagram and trace the short or loose connection.

Thanks everyone but i think it is the ignition switch (i have had a problem with the plastic separating before but had not had problems since)... I had already checked all connections and the wiring harness before i posted about it... That parts pretty common sense, but i guess there are a lot of people lacking in that area lol... Thanks again...

OK!!!!!!! I changed the switch, which was coming apart again, and it did not solve the problem... I checked through the engine bay harness and everything looks good.. I am thinking maybe something to do with the instrumentation or dash??? not sure..
