it's super cold here, and last night the 240D fired up but the battery, brake, and the other warning light clustered on the dashboard flickered (as if the brake pads needed changing, or the generator needed attention).

Just a loose belt or some other problem?

Your ideas PLEASE

my seatbelt light does this, especially when cold. When really cold, theglow light flickers and tach dips. checked what grounds I could with no luck

hoping to get some new ideas as well...

I have atributed this glitch with vacuum... That's all I can say about it. It's not a problem, just an old car....
