Default Cluster lights blinking! What does this mean.

i just picked up this 96 civic ek.

it seems like the battery and alternator are bad. i had it jumped today and when the car is on,

all the cluster lights are blinking like the turn signals are going,
the center console lights were blinking also,

where should i start looking with this nightmare?

thanks
