lately those lights have been turning on on my dashboard then back off after awhile, excluding the oil light at that time, untill recently when all of those lights turned on on my dash board including the oil light and the temp gauge stopped working but none of them would turn back off,

would any of yous know what the problem for this to be?

i have a 1998 Holden VT commodore acclaim Seaden, also the alternator has been recently replaced in it too due to the old one being fried

They are usually the symptoms of a faulty ABS module. It might just be a bad connection, try unplugging the module and cleaning the terminals with a spray contact cleaner (available at Dick Smith, Jaycar etc.). This might help but don't count on it. It is a common problem.

Jamie, I fixed my ABS module yesterday to a degree. I unplugged it, re-soldered the pins in the back as the dry solder had worn and become brittle. I had Engine, ABS, Trac Off, and Oil lights all on and now I have just the ABS and Trac Off lights on....so I've done something right so far.
Maybe someone else who has done this can explain it better to you, but I hope this helps a little.

Rpm drops then picks up again, then the TRAC OFF light appears. Cant turn the trac control on or off after that until i turn the ignition off then back on again.
