Dash Lights

Need some help y'all...
The other day i was driving and went to put my (left) turn signal on, and the light on the dash didn't come on. So i tried my right turn signal thinking it was just the bulb that went out but no light came on for the right turn signal either. Later on (same day) when i went over a few bumps in the road the oil light started to flicker but only when i went over the bumps did it flicker. Does anyone have any ideas as of what this could be?
Thanks

The signals could be a fuse or a bad flasher. The outside lights are not working also correct?

I am not sure on the outside lights, i didn't think to check them. I'm going to check all the fuses and see if that's the problem.
Thanks

<p>Do the radio and wipers (and all key-on accessories) operate? An ignition switch not fully in RUN would cause the blinkers to not work, too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the flickering oil light problem on bumps, I would guess the sending unit is bad OR the wire leading to it is getting grounded as you drive over bumps.</p>
