Default Dash light pulsing - now what

The dash lights pulse all the time. With or without signals, brakes applied or not, radio on or off. I have tried to ground the battery to the frame. No help. Replaced the alternator a couple of years ago with no problems. Battery replace about 11 months ago. It doesn't seem to affect anything else, it just drives me nuts. Any help?
Thanks -
Subman

sounds like a bad inturnal ground...You might want to take the harness connector out of the dash panel ...You would have to remove the LCD dash itself...it's not hard ...it could just be the contacts need to be cleaned and you could take it apart and look at the circuit boards and see if anything looks burned or aout of wack....I hope this helps that is if you have the LCD dash.... :crazy:

If that's the case, then that could explain the oil pressure gauge pegging at anthing over idle. Been that way since I bought the car. Have tested oil pressure and put a new sending unit in and all is well w/oil pressure. Will lok at it this weekend.
Thanks

Check your battery cables for resistance.
