Hey folks, I have a 97' 850 GLT wagon that currently has 123k miles. Just yesterday I noticed that almost all of the dashboard status lights came on briefly while driving through town (San Francisco). A few minutes later they came on again and remain on while the engine is running. By status lights I mean all the various amber and red lights that come on when you turn the ignition key before tarting the engine. Curious enough it seems the only two lights not to remain on in this current situation are the 'ABS' check light and the 'engine service light.'

Have no idea where to start with this but hope to get it to a shop here within the next few days. Although there is no change in engine performance or any such thing I am wondering if this might represent a safety concern and whether I should just park it for the time being rather than continue to drive.

Any insight/input/suggestions greatly appreciated.
