Lets start with the basics.
Is it a Honda car, or can you wait until next Wednesday to get free
help?
SEARCH 'Wednesday' if you don't understand.

Anybody! Help! I have dash lites that come off and on. Never know when
they are going to do it. Most of the time the come on on surface streets,
slow, fast or stopped. So far have NEVER come on while on the freeway.
Any ideas. Thanks

WHAT LIGHTS? ALL of them? Just one? The one that tells you when it's time
to take a leak? What? More details please.

battery lite, brake lite and the diagram of the car all come on. (door

its very quick

How old is your alternator? I wonder if your brushes are about done.
