Intermittent Flashing of Airbag, Seat belt, and Battery Indicator Lights

Hey Everyone.

Have a weird issue with the said indicator lights on the dash. Today I started my 2004 civic ex and as i was driving, these lights would turn on, at different times, and not for long. At no point does the check engine light come on. I have about 160K miles on it, and haven't had any work performed on it that could have led to this issue. So it drove just fine, and eventually the lights would stop flashing.

I know there is a sticky about these lights coming on, but they stay on. these only flicker on and off for a second or so and at random times.

Was wondering if anyone had this issue or may know a solution or something to look into. could it be a fuse? I have a 5hr car drive coming up this Monday and would hate to be stranded somewhere if this turns into a major issue.

Thanks again for any help provided.
Mark

prolly a loose wire going to the cluster. i had the same issue a while back and one wire controls all those lights. its not likely to be an issue because they are only warning lights that do not affect how the car drives. i can try to look up which color wire it was. it could also be that there is a problem and the lights are working properly. check your batery connections to be sure they are tight, then get a free charging system check at the auto store.
