Default Lights start turning on/off on dash and gauges go up/down while driving.

When I start driving all the lights turn on and off and than my gauges go up and down. I'm still able to drive but I'm afraid it may disable/enable something. Sometimes I'm not able to start. I would have to pop the hood and pull out a starter relay fuse and put it back in and it would start up. What is the issue? Electrical wiring? closing off terminal? CPU replacement? Any thoughts. Thanks.

Had a similar issue with lights dimming and flickering. Have your alternator checked. Sounds silly, I know. But I had a cop pull us over and ask if we were signaling him for something. I replaced the switch, checked bulbs, relays, fuses, and tracked it back to the alternator.

Yeah, alternator. All day. Changed it once, have to change it again.

I tried that first and it still did it. But the alternator crapped out and I had to replace it. Then the new one exploded or something and took out my egr. So I had to replace it. But it is a dodge. So it's bound to try and kill you at least a few times.
