Q: Dash lights are all on

asked by on March 13, 2018

I replaced the starter in my car, so the battery was disconnected for 3 days, once the starter was replaced and the batter re-hooked, all the lights on my dash stay lit, the ABS, service, trunk light, etc. Wondering if there is a reset switch somewhere? The car runs fine, just lights will not go off.

My car has 250000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
