Need help...

So I went for a "spirited" drive last night when all of the sudden all of the dash lights lit up and chimes started ringing. A few seconds later, the lights went out. Has this ever happened to you before? Does anybody know what happened? Do I have to take it to the dealer or is this something I can fix? Please, I need your help ASAP!!!

To help you see what happened, I somehow managed to take this sharp photo (1/4 sec @ f/4.5) while driving and caught the problem when it occured.

You know, I feel bad because of all people to "fish-in" on my silly thread, I certainly wouldn't want it to be the ever-so-helpful mdsbrain. Sorry mdsbrain! Please continue to be the same outstanding helpful resource here.

I though that looked like a door! I think I can make out your garage door right above the wiper.

Nice picture. Very sharp.
