First, the warning lights will not work, now the lights on the dash are on. The lights are the low fuel, emergency brake, door and charge battery lights, that's all. Other than that electricaly it works perfectly.

your warning lights not working may be the control unit so it will have to be checked to see if it's getting and putting power out. if it's your flashers not working check your flasherfor t/sigs. also clean battery terminal ends and check alternator belt for being tight and check battery to body ground that may also be the cause
