98 Olds Achieva electrical problems

[mjwettoes]

1998 Oldsmobile Achieva - all the lights on the dash light up, but all the fluids are topped off. Also hard to start without holding the key on for a couple of seconds and pumping the gas pedal. Now the turn signals only flash once, and when I need to, I have to flick them on and off manually in order to signal a turn. Repair shop said to disconnect the battery for a few hours, then reconnect to reset the computer. Any suggestions?

need to have your instrument cluster scanned for codes. Check the powers and grounds. Make sure you have a good connection behind the cluster.
