So starting this morning, every time I start up my car, my gauge needles jump all the way to the right, then slowly go back down to the left, then go where they are supposed to. I also noticed that my miles driven keeps resetting itself to 0. Any ideas?

Your battery is about to die, could be caused by a bad alternator, or maybe a starter. I just replaced my starter a few months back because it was bad both can be taken off and taken to a auto parts store to have tested.

Battery dieing is possible, I would just make sure both connections on the battery are clean of corrosion, and also have a secured connection.

Then check a few of the grounds in the engine bay (passenger shock tower, on DS frame rail by alternator, back of DS head) again check for any corrosion. If you want you can remove the grounds and clean up everything there and scuff up so it's metal to metal contact just to be sure it's a clean ground.

I had the same problem.

Replaced battery and problem gone.

'99's do that when battery voltage is low. GM issued a TSB on it to replace the gauge cluster, but a good battery makes it go away.
