2000 Buick Regal 62500 miles

Recently, my car has developed a strange problem. When I turn the ignition key to the on position, ALL the "idiot " or dash lights keep flashing off and on until I turn the key to start the car which it does start but will just die out as I'm driving down the road sometimes. The battery is new and I cleaned the negative connection at the cars frame. Also, I cleaned and tightened the battery connections. Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi:
Have the computer scanned at a nationally recognized parts store. They will do it for free and it will point us in the right direction.

Ok, this is an interesting one. Does the car have a an alarm system? Have you had the Body Control Module (BCM) checked?
