Went to start it a few days ago and it just clicked like the battery was dead. After several tries it started right up. After stopping to pick up a few things, I noticed the volt meter was jumping up and down but not like it does when something is turned on or off. Then it just died. Ater a minute or two it started again and was fine again. Have c leaned or replaced all connections. battery and alternater test normal. Still have needle jumping around erratically
Any ideas would be helpfull..

Suspect poor ground circuit to engine or battery issue... Headlights dimming and brightening a little with engine running?... Manual test guage hooked to battery jump just like the in-dash guage??
