Idiot lights, RPM, Speedometer and fuel needles

So my car is possessed. while driving my 2006 SS SC I noticed that my RPM, speedometer fuel gauges fluctuate and stop responding. When this happens the Icon light in the dash come on randomly and the radio flickers off and on. None of this effects how the cars runs. Has anyone had this problem or have have any ideas as to what is causing this? I just a new turn signal switch and will be drop that in this weekend. I am hoping that this will solve my issue. Thanks for any help you folks might be able to provide.

Sounds like you losing voltage. Check your alternator

Thank you for the tip. I checked the alternator and it is working and charging at 14.2 volts. I am at a loss here. The problem is getting worse. Now the gauges don't work at all while diving. They work when you are parked.

Check your grounds and check the connections to your battery now since the alternator seems to be ok.
