Dash lights
136,000 miles
Oil pressure L/H needle light and battery charge L/H needle light flash on and off all the time.
Replaced alternator a few months ago, battery is new, and and recently replaced canister purge valve because engine light came on along with traction control light and the code given was for the evap system and auto zone recommended that part.
Engine light is now off and so is the traction control but these needle lights still flash.
Any ideas?

Here is what I learned: There is a tiny led light bulb that lights up each gauge needle. The bulbs have 4 connectors and are soldered to the circuit board.
You could buy a used instrument panel from a wrecking yard online for $60 -$150 and have it programed to your car at a dealership. My dealership would have done that for about $350. Your car will not start or run without programing the different panel to your car.
I found a small company in Missouri that would solder new bulbs into my circuit board for about $50. I pay postage to and from their shop.
I used youtube to learn how to solder to a circuit board and get a part number for the bulbs. I think I bought 10 bulbs for about $10.
Good luck,
Richard
