Question 2000 camaro guage cluster ...uh ... issue

i have a 2000 camaro z28 and all the lights on the guage cluster are lighting up
Example: Check Gauges, abs inop, brake, abs off, service engine, security speedometer also goes totally dead sometimes while you are driving.
sometimes you start the car and theyre all off then all of a sudden it lights up like a christmas tree. the car runs perfect high miles but no issues...
do i need a new cluster , computer, sensors? someone let me know before i pull out those bulbs!!!!

What does you voltage gauge say while all this is going on?

Try watching again when everything goes haywire. If the voltage drops below 12V, its probably an alternator problem.

I had a similar problem recently, turned out to be a bad ground.
