when car starts dash lights are dark, then go all the way right, then correct

What is your question?

The van has 230,000 miles. It has been doing this once or twice a week for a little while. When I turn the ignition, it starts, but then the dash is dark, then all arrows go all the way to the right, then it corrects and does right.

How long has your 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan had this problem?

A month or so
