odometer

[white04alero]

my odometer and gear indicator light (the light that lights up next to P R N D 3 2 1) blink rapidly when i press down on the accelerator.
the more i floor it, the more rapidly they blink.
i TOUCH the brake pedal, they quit blinking until i let off, then start blinking.

how do i fix this?

[Monza]

Loose connection? Try wiggling wires and connectors.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

do you have aftermarket gauges? if so, check the connection on the ground. (all those connections, for that matter.)

[white04alero]

That's the thing, I have stock gauges, ive never had the gauges out of the car. Could I have put a fuse that is too large in?

[Monza]

The amp rating of the fuse will not cause flickering lights.

Do they only do it in daylight (bright) mode, or also in night (dimmed) mode?

[white04alero]

it does it whether or not the headlights are on.
is there a chance the plug or ground could have become loose?
how do i get to the ground for the gauges to check?
is there a write up on how to remove the gauges so that i can check the plug/ ground?
