   My Hand brake light and the oil light are randomly flashing at the same time when im driving...it seems as if its a loose connection because they flash when the car jogs. Could it be a loose connection behind the dash?

   Must be a loose connection if every thing else is fine.

   usually when the heandbrake light is fshing its something to do with your brakes mate its acts as 2 warning lights
   
   so a said chek the fluid level, check the lines for any leaks, nd check the pads and discs for wear

   Im having this problem now, oil is fine, brakes and brake fluid are fine. Diagnostic test brought up nothing and replaced oil pressure switch.
   Any other ideas?
