Weird Problem

I havent had this problem before ... but now after i let my car sit.... i come back and turn it on and its like my whole car resets itself... pretty much everytime i turn on the car. my speedo and rpm guages start moving by themselves when the motors at idle. And my trip gos back to 0.and after a while the rpm will setttle where it should be and my fuel and temp guages move where they are supposed to be.. i dont understand why my car is doin this.... anyone have any ideas?

This is very common problem on the 99's, there's a TSB about this. You have either a bad cluster or your battery is getting weak, if it's the battery then I would replace it, if it's the cluster and the dealer will replace it free under the TSB I'd get it replaced but if you have to pay for it I'd just live with it.

Glad to hear you got the problem solved, I don't know which battery you got at AutoZone but for anyone thinking about a new battery get the Gold Series, it's the best battery for the money.
