Default Help ME!!!!

I just bought an 99 Audi A4 and my gas light, oil light, would flicker on and off as I drive like there is short some where. I know that I am not low on oil or gas because I pumped a fuel tank of gas and checked my oil level already. Has anyone every encountered this problem before.

yea there is a short, going to have to find it its probibly in the calm or behind the dash.. check all the fuses, and go under the driver side dash and make sure all the wires look ok and all the grounds are conected. problems like that are hard to really pin-point.. but i would say its a ground issue

When I test drove it in the morning I couldn't see it because it would flash for a quick second. But when I was driving at night I saw that every so often it would flash. I know that its definately something with the wiring. But don't know where to start. Just wanted to see if anyone had this problem before.

Thanks for the info... This is going to be a pain trying to find where the short is.
