We've noticed that on occasion, the dashboard lights in the car won't come on right away, particularly if the weather is cold outside. We have a new battery and the car cranks, but it takes a while for the dash lights to come on. Can you give us an idea of what the problem could be?

It sounds like it could be faulty wiring or loose wiring. In the cold, metal (wires), contract. You need to test each wire to the cluster to find out where the problem is. Chances are that the wires are barely touching, or it is exposed and touching something else and that is what is causing the issues with your dash lights.
