Weird stuff under the dash

Recently my dashboard has been making strange noises, my idiot lights have been randomly turning off and on as well as my a/c and radio. Anyone heard of this before?

I wanted to get some advice before I pay the dealer $300 to tighten a wire in the back.

Water leak.
$1000s of dollars to fix, not $300...

It's almost Halloween, maybe your car is haunted... Can you get an ASE certified exorcist for $300?

It could be the alternator on its way out, or intermittently losing connection. Take it to an AutoZone or place like that and have them check the battery and charging system.
