Contacted my insurance today, they were very nice, hopefully it will get fixed soon. I was jsut wondering what would make the dash lights stay on all the time now?

I hit one a few years ago in my 97 E320 going around 75 mph. Front fender, grill, rt side quarter panel, radiator, and a whole bunch of other stuff.Bill came to around $6,000.
Just about anything could be causing the dash lights to be malfunctioning, but don't drive the car if you have radiator damage (obviously).
