i have never experienced that from the cold, but i did experience the same symptoms when i fried the flexible green circuitboard that wraps around the rear of the instrument cluster. i had a couple of indicator lights on, but they did not go away.
what i can think of is maybe putting some of that dielectric compound there all the lighbulbs contact into that circuitboard, and then unscrew all the screws in the back, and place that dielectric compound on all the screw contact points.
when you do this it is good to NOT place the key in the ignition so the car may be on (thats what i did :0 )and fry the board. this is also a god time to check the main plug for the cluster is on good and tight...and you may as well grease it up too.

this is just an opinion.
