Default flashing instrument lights

I have noticed three times within the past week the warning lights on the left side of the dash flash up then immediately go off, as far as I know there is nothing wrong, could it be an earthing problem on the dash cluster?

I am having the odo fixed next week so I can get them look out for this at the same time.

Seems like an emerging problem.

Well yeah, that seems pretty apparent, but is it an earth problem? As the lights are not staying on, really it is a flash and thats it I can only deduce.

I was hoping if someone else had experienced this I would know exactly where to go on the instrument cluster.

All the lights on the left side of the dash, like the petrol light, and whatever the other ones are clustered on that bottom left corner of the dash. Literally it is a flash not on for a few seconds but on/off as fast as you can say it.

Hence why I think it must only be an earth problem.

I would have them check the plugs and wiring when they pull the cluster to repair the Speedo.
