Battery may be beginning to go bad. You can bring it in to get checked at any place that sells them. But first try cleaning the terminals on your battery and cabled to get rid of as much corrosion as possible. I've seen corrosion making a bad connection between the terminals and cable clamps cause this, too.

Hows your belt? Does it slip or squeal ? That could be the culprit

I agree. A guy I work with had so corrosion between his cables and it caused the gauges to ack funny. Sounds like a power problem. Battery, cables or alternator. Good luck
