My daugther says her 91 Civic's dash lights flash several time upon start-up. She says that the car starts and runs fine but the entire dash lights flash most of the time, but not everytime, she starts the car. I'm wondering if it's an ignition or light switch going bad. Any ideas?

 

Its normal for the dash lights to flash for a few sec's when starting a car, but if they stay on after that theres a problem. Is their any ONE light that stays on after the rest go out or do they all go out after a few sec's

 

You might find more help https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum/1 in there, it could be a common problem with them or something, i dunno.

I had my mechanic to resolder my connections and that fixed the problem.
