I know my dash is supposed to light up briefly when the car first turns on. However I noticed a number of lights briefly lit up for just a couple seconds while I was driving. Is this telling me I'm about to have electrical problems? The lights that let up were all red (I think) -- it was brake, seatbelt, and one other light but I don't know which one because it was too fast.

My car is a 1995 J30t.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
