    It sort of sounds like your anti-theft system activated while being towed.

    Or, the toad battery got low and caused the vehicle computer to start going nuts.

    Assume you do not disconnect the battery when towing. I also assume you turned off ignition and then started the vehicle and the dancing lights continued. Perhaps disconnect the battery and wait a minute and recoonect. In most vehicles that will reset the computer.

    Still sounds like a low vehicle battery to me. Check the voltage while you are having the problem.
