Subject:      Blinking Dash Warning Lights!

While driving my 1984 Westy on the highway today, the battery/alternator
AND the oxygen sensor lights started to dimly flicker in unison.  This
concerted flickering continued to increase in intensity and frequency
until both the lights were on continuously.  Now they seem to both be on
most of the time, but occasionally - especially after driving involving
turning lots of corners - the both go off again.

Also, after parking the van on a steep (10-15 degrees) shoulder, the
temperature warning/coolant level light in my 1984 Westy started
blinking, and has been blinking for the past 1,000 miles or so.  The
engine temperature is well within it's typical operating range (about 1/2
way up the LED or below), the coolant levels in BOTH the coolant tanks
are fine, and the van runs great.

Anyone see this before?  Any clues as to where to start to try to chase
this problem?

Thanks for your help,
