4 dash dummy lights come on for no reason, help me out here

[95tsiguy]

okay, well, the 4 lights that come on on the dash are the hand brake light, the coolant level light, the AT temperature light, and the battery light. I know for a fact that none of these is an actual problem. I was thinking it may be the ground wire term. loose or corroded, but I cleaned it off and sprayed sum corrosion resistant fluid on it and every thing connected to the battery. They still come on. So I'd just like to know, what the heck is the problem?

Does it to that when you're driving? Or what? Those four things happen to me when I accelerate and then push down the clutch while stil holding it down because I stall....I don't know what's wrong with my car

[95tsiguy]

yea, it happens while I'm driving, and I have an auto tranny so it not stalling that would be the problem, I think it's more of a loose electrical cable

You're probably right. First; tighten and inspect your leads, and service your battery. If that doesn't work, worry about your battery or alternator. You could also work back to the problem going along the lines with a voltmeter.

Have you taken your battery out recently?

You reset the ECU by pulling the battery. It'll take a few days for the trims to stabilize.
