Wasn't sure if this was the proper forum to post in.

Each time I start my car, the tach and speedometer needle will travel all the way to the right and then back to the left where it will settle (tach moves from 0-6,500 RPMs and then back to 500 RPMs when idling). My tripdometer also resets each time too.

I thought it may be a battery issue with a charge but the clock on my CD player never resets and my car doesn't have charging issues.

Any ideas?

check the ground on the battery aswell as the + side.

my car was doing the same then when i got it ( 4th owner ). check your terminals. mine were tight, it ended up being the battery was too weak and not holding a charge

The 1999 models are well documented at having this problem.

I havent read about this issue on a 2000 model year...but, who knows.

Search and look for the service bulletin.

Does the gauge cluster have a small battery in it like a computer in order to save the mileage and trip readings even if you don't have an acutal battery in the car? For example, I stored my Camaro a few years back and completely unhooked the battery. When I reinstalled it 7 months later the actual mileage of the car and trip were the same as when I left it.

Crusty connections are a possibility. I had two Delco
batteries in a row ooze acid from the terminals and it
chewed up my connectors pretty badly.
