Default Dash Lights Flashing? Help!

When I hit my right turn signal, my dash lights flash in time with the turn signal relay. This is an intermittent problem. The bulbs still work fine...nothing burned out, but something is definitely wrong.

Any ideas?

Could be a bad ground somewhere in the system or even a battery showing sings of dying.

Hmmm...OK, more info. The problem seems to correct itself after the car has been driven for a few minutes.

with the bad ground. I've had that happen to just about every trailer that I've owned. Maybe Bill Curlee will chime in. He is the C5 Bad Ground Guru.
