Psycho gauges...
Heres the problem:
I'm going down the highway ~70, (parking/fogs on, since its almost dark) and I tap the brakes...at which point the speedometer needle freezes for a split second, check gauge light comes on, and the rest of the dashlights flicker all at the same time.
What the hells up with that? At slow speeds like 30ish, the lights just flicker, the needle doesnt do anything.
Help?

Not sure if it is the same thing, but a while back ago during heavy acceleration or decelaration my lights would flicker and gauges would freak out. Found out that my battery cables that run in the same loom were chafing and causing a temporary short. We replaced the wires and ran them in seperate looms.

How old is your battery? It may be using most of your alternator's output at low rpms under high electrical demands ie, stereo, lights etc. Have your battery checked (free at autozone) as well as your alternator. But first make sure all your electrical connections are clean and secure.
