Had this issue last year when battery got drained during a cold night with a dvd player left on... BCM got confused. Pull the fuse, wait 30 seconds, re-insert. That did the trick for me.

BCM(body control module) is located under the dash and has a fuse for it. If you cannot find it..just simply disconnect the battery for 5 minutes(doesnt have to be that long but that is what i do) and see if all the problems are solved. If they are, BCM may be ok for now or it could happen again resulting in it needing replaced. Good luck

I'll have to try that too! Actually it's odd, all summer long I drove without any lights on my dash, but now that it's cold outside, they actually stay on... it's weird... I'll try the fuse thing if they go out again...

Go to the dealer and ask if the flash on the BCM is cover under the emission or powertrain warranty. There is a flash for 2001 thru 2004, TSB 08-006-04.
