Default Dash Warning Lights...
I read throught the FAQ and found the description below for when all the warning lights come on. I have this similar problem, but they come on every now and then, and will most likely flicker, do a bit dim, and then go out. It's pretty annoying, and I do not have the problems listed in the FAQ.

At this point, I have disconnected it! The only thing on there, that I do not have a gauge for is the exhaust overheat.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is there any real ramafication of just disconnecting them?

2. If I wanted to monitor the exhaust overheat condition, is there an aftermarket part to do that?

3. Any chance that the warning panel is just plain junk?


"All my warning lights are on
It is normal for all the lights to come on, if the key is on, and the engine is not running, but they should turn of when the engine is running.
With the engine running the Alternator failure warning circuit in the CPU will switch the lights on when the voltage in the car drops under 12 volts. Either your alternator, belts, underhood fuse box connections may have failed. The voltage in the car and the voltmeter on the dash (only in non-turbo models) needs to be above 12.6 volts. If it is below 12.6 volts your alt is not producing enough power to run the car.
You also need it to stay at or above 13.6 volts to charge the battery[/COLOR]."
