Unhappy 01 Mustang Gauges going crazy

When I get to 20 mph all of my gauges start bouncing all over the place. I noticed that when I start the car and it is in idle everything is fine. When I give it gas the battery light comes on and then at 20 mph the gauges go CRAZY. Please let me know what I should look at first thanks.

Well you've clearly got it pegged to electrical system. Ive never seen such a thing. the warning light could be a bad battery or alt or both...or there may be a short in the harness. Thats a strange one. Good luck.
