Just noticed sporadically that my cluster gauge takes a few seconds to light up and engage after starting my vehicle; it took a turn for the worse yesterday when lights started flickering when vehicle starts; flickered for like 10 seconds and was fine after that. Should I get a battery check ASAP or could it be an alternator issue. Thx for your feedback

You may be right about that.....had a ton of coins in the compartment under the radio. As I moving the coins( car off and no key in ignition), the "right" traffickating light flashed once. So this may be the phenomenon at play. Thx for bring this to my attention
