Question Warning lamp problems

just got the car started up for the season and found that the warning lights for brake fluid, low oil level and oil pressure are lit without cause. The pressure gauge works fine and the brake fluid sensor is ok. Before I start searching for the problem, are there any obvious things to look for?

TIA

So, what year and model of car do you have?

Have you had any work done to the car recently?

I had nearly (my pressure gauge was stuck at zero, also) the same problem last year. Checked all grounds and cluster connections multiple times. A week after the initial problem a family emergency forced me to drive home despite the gauges and lights being screwy, but when I started the car everything was cool again. I just said thanks and have been lucky so far. You can check my thread for any advice that was given back then:

Thanks.
The car is a -91 and everything is modified except th circuits for warning lamps
Ben, there is one similarity with one of the comments you got. When I think of it they actually went out in a bend so perhaps something related to the steering wheel then. Seems very odd.

Not a bad idea since now the problem has disappeared by itself!
