      The same thing happened to me last year. The car started fine, but the needles of the gauges would be jumping around for about 5-10 seconds after the car started. Then one day the car wouldn't start at all. A simple battery replacement solved the problem. The needles of the gauges are all acting normally again once the battery was replaced. It seems to me your battery is slowly dying.

      DannyWatson - any updates?

      FYI: my aunt's car also had a crazy dashboard when the battery was no good. Replacement fixed it.
