Occasionally the dashboard lights go out, which makes it difficult to know how fast I am traveling. It comes back on and off. The brake light is on in the morning, I think it might be due to dampness from sitting overnight? It goes out after I’ve driven a few miles.

The dash light problem may be due to a connection problem in the harness for the dash or possibly in the dimmer control area. The brake light may be coming on because the fluid is slightly low.
