Default Dash & Centre Consul Lights Dim and Flashing ???

G'day All

I've been OS for a few weeks and today was the first day I drove the TE in the dark (back to work :( ). Anyway, start the car, headlights to on and then, huh, no lights on the dash and centre consul. Must be a fuse I thought, but they were fine. Anyway, I had to leave and just persisted. On the way I played with the dimmer switch and darkness started to brighten. Great I thought, can't remember dimming them. But behold, at full intensity they are only dim and then there was a constant flashing (on/off) to a consistent frequency. Seems really odd and I'm clueless what to do. May try an ECU reset tonight but doubt my chances.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How's your battery mate? First thing mine does is send the dash lights weird if it's on the way out. Also check alternator.

Thanks Aust

Starts alright and headlights appear normal. Suppose it won't hurt to give it a trickle charge overnight. Will check the voltage on the way home tonight.
