New Aurora owner, in morning driving to work (20 min) all the warning lights on dash came on (as if turning key to on before starting)! Car drove normal but do not know if any issues w/ outside lights tail or brake lights though. All warning lights stayed on for 6-8 seconds then went out, this happened 3 times. drove car home and back to work w/ no problems.
I noticed charging system only 14.5-14.8 while driving? If the read out is accurate would this cause the problem.
 
Can't help with the flashing lights but the 14.5 volt readout is normal (actually nominal); means your alternator is working. Only suggestion would be to check battery cables (for clean and tightness), other problems could include electronic issues (the ECM, etc.).
 
if your engine is a 3.5, it is the same as my intrigue. I had the same thing happen turned out to be the plug to the alt. had been replace with some terrible splices. some moron just twisted the wires together & put heat shrink over it so at least it looked professional. also the alt only charge as needed some kind of fuel saving thing, so your voltage will vary somewhat
