Default 07 Magnum, 6 cyl, flashing dash lights

Question, sometimes for no apparent reason, the "idiot" lights will flash. I have seen the tach and speed needle drop to 0 and come back, no miss in engine. Last Tuesday morning the heater blower stopped came right back on and the idiot lights flashed a couple times. I continued on to work but in the 10 mile drive the idiot lights flashed twice more, never a loss of power in the engine and it hasn't done it since.
I replaced the original battery a month ago, we were getting some cold temps and it was getting slow to crank, I had thought maybe that had something to do with it till it did it last week.
I have had my son put it on his computer to check for codes and nothing shows up. We did notice twice that when it happened I was low on oil, now I check that every 2 weeks just cause I'm tripping out over it.
I'm taking it to my local mechanic next week for a oil and filter change and to see if maybe he can find what is causing this.
It's been a great ride, going on 96,000 miles. Just wondering if anyone else has had a issue like this.

Smile figured it out

Pretty sure it is a loose ground, but I'm gonna keep going till it doesn't. Oh, it does NOT like to go up my driveway with 4-6" of snow/sleet & ice. And a running start only suceeded in tearing off a black piece under the front end. It's not made to push snow. Oh, did I mention I HATE snow?
Maybe if I had a coffin in the back it would do better, we call my Magnum "The Hearse".
