It is most likely caused by another appliance on the same circuit. When a heavy draw on the circuit is caused by an power consuming appliance, the voltage will tend to drop lower that what it was before the current draw. This is the condition that you see as the lights dim or as you call it blinking. The same thing happens when a motor load is applied to the circuit. It can be seen when fridges and freezers start their cycle of starting. If it is a plug in appliance that you think is causing this condition plug it in some other circuit and see if it happens there. If it does then it is nothing to worry about. If it is the same circuit time after time you should get an electrician to look at the problem as it might be the start of something else and it is better to catch it early rather than later.

If it is anything like my '88, it is probably a relay. If you have stock fog lights, try turning them off and see if this helps. On mine, if I turn the fog lights off when the headlights start to blink it fixes the problem...untill i turn the fog lights back on that is. there was a recall to correct this-contact your dealer-they repaired mine for free because of the recall.

Why do Toyota Cressida dash lights stay on after engine starts?

Are you talking about the lights that are under the gauges, that read "check engine", battery, oil press, etc.? If so, your ecu is not getting a STA signal, or start signal. You need to test for ecu trouble codes. To do this... go under the bonnet and find the DIAGNOSIS box. Jumper terminals TE1 and E1. Start the engine. Watch the Check engine light blink. It works kind of like Morse code. For instance... BLINK BLINK ... pause ... BLINK BLINK BLINK would be a code 23. This site can help you determine the meaning of the code. Good luck. http://docs.azsupracentral.com/Engine%20Error%20Codes.pdf
