When I first start 'er up, all the instruments peg to the max, then drop back to the 'off' position, then after a few seconds they all turn on and everything's fine. Doesn't happen all the time, though, and no set rountine as to when this happens. Has anyone experienced this?

 

its normal, mine does it every now and then, cant remember what it is though

 

Mine did that until I replaced my battery, and now no problem. I thought of it as an early sign of battery going.

 

^+1 my battery went bad shortly after. replaced and all well

 

its just wanting to be a motorcycle..... they all do that.

 

isn't there a fuse that you pull to make it do this? i remember reading a thread about this last year. i tried searching for it for the longest time but had no luck

i think it was called something like the cluster memory fuse or somethin

 

My GT did this and then my battery went bad. Replaced that and it hasn't done it again.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll check the batteryconnections, etc. and how old it is. Haven't had the car long. For all I know, it could be original battery (car's a 2003) but doubtful. I was thinkin' the same thing-an early sign of battery going.

 

Is it a pontiac? My GT or Mach never did that...

 

My bad. It's a 2003 GT.
