Default Stock gauge question?

I have just started noticing that when I turn my car on the gauges go through what looks like a test they go all the way over then back to zero then they read there normal. Is this a normal operation or a start to a problem? I can t help to think that I never noticed this before.

How old is your battery? Mine did that just before the stock battery died. I replaced the battery and it hasn't happened since.

you know I just noticed tonight I went to pull my car into the garage (it had been sitting out in the cold all day) and it cranked kinda slow, slower than normal. Hmmm I probably need to check the battery. Thanks

My last stang also did this before the battery crapped out on me. This is has also started doing it since the temp just recently dropped here so its time for me to look for a new one also.
