flickering warning lights

Post by dgg9879 »

Various warning lights flicker while driving. They flicker such a short time its hard to know which ones they are while driving. I think one of them is the bulb replacement warning light but not aware of any blown bulbs.

Since the warning lights are only flickering occasionally I'm assuming all is ok.

Is this a reasonable assumption?

Is flickering warning lights another Volvo quirk? Can it easily be fixed?

What model and year car is this on? It sounds like maybe a bad bulb connection somewhere or possibly the electrical portion of the ignition switch.

It has a 3 year warranty. Should I talk to the used car dealer about it? Not sure if electricals are covered.
