Replying to: eyesie (Jan 11, 2009 10:42 am) Mine did this. The gages are all re-calibrating by going to full scale, then back to zero and then to current reading. I believe that with a weak battery, when the voltage drops below a certain level when starting, the gages go into this "calibration" mode. Of course, they will also do this when you replace the battery also. Replies to this message: Bowser3 (Feb 13, 2009 7:05 pm)

I swear that it it did not do that before but now it is every time the ignition is turned on even without going to crank with the key. I don't have any idea what the problem is but about the same time it started running rough.
