Likely bad connections for the dash lights. Common problem, especially in the winter. Remove the three (I believe) lights, clean the contacts and re-insert. Turn signal blinking faster - you have a burn light bulb, either the front or rear. Replace it and you're good. The last one seems almost like low pressure. The added strain of the lights causing a slight drop in the RPMs that causes the light to go on. Could be something else, but that would be my first guess. Have you checked the oil pressure?
