I have a 2002 Infiniti I35 and when I started the car this morning, it was perfectly fine. As I was about to go home, I turn on the key and notice the following issues with my cluster...

- Temperature gauge does a full clockwise rotation and then stops at the bottom about an inch from the 'C' marking but goes nowhere after that.
- Speedometer gives about 50-60 kph off reading (checked using waze).
- RPM needle constantly shaking between 0 and 500 on idle.
- Odometer reading is all messed up, almost as if it's trying to form letters.
- Fuel level reads as almost full even though I know for a fact my car isn't near that full.

Other than the gauge cluster, the car drives normally as it always does and all other electronics function normally.

I also had the alternator replaced as it went out a few weeks ago. And occasionally both the parking and battery light will quickly turn on and off. I am not sure if the alternator that I bought (brand new) is screwed up or if my battery is going bad. Thanks in advance!
