Default Insturent lighting gremlins??? Anyone have problems

I have had no real problems with my car at all (knocks on wood) but for some reason when its cold outside (this is everyday in Chicago) my trip odometer resets and all my gauages go to max and then come back slowly every time I start my car. I also go a low coolant light which I am sure is just a dumby light because I have checked it before and when the car is warm it won't come on. Now this hasn't really bothered me all that much untill yesturday when it got worse. Now on a cold start up the e-brake light, tcs light, and abs inop light all come on and stay on unless I turn the car off and back on. I am hoping this will all go away again in the summer as it did last summer when it got warm but its starting to bother me. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so should I worry about it.

i have heard some about this. it mainly happens on 98, but some 99 also. i think that there is a service bulletin for a fix. do a search here and at ls1.com and see what you come across.
