Weird, really weird!
-guages not working
-car starts and runs well, maybe a little rougher then normal
-check battery and reads 1300 amps yikes
-recently replaced alternator, 1 month ago
-Advanced Auto read out says Alternator good
- some readings were inconsistant
-put in diff battery stated fine guages work for couple of seconds then went dead, car still ran,
- head lights still work.

My guess would have been volt reg but reading at advanced says OK.

Trying to get car to nearby city to have sun roof glass replaced. Crazy, had in heated garage bout 60F and drove outside and glass shattered. Was about 15F when I went outside with car.

Anyway electrics issue preventing from getting SR glass fixed.

Thanks as always!

You may have a bad automatic breaking system unit. This is a small black box located underneath the brake line distribution near the master cylinder. This unit is a computer in charge of knowing your speed and odometer and is subject to cracks in its circuit boards. When failing, your red ABS light may flicker on and off or just stay on. Speedometer needle suddenly drops to zero and hyphens appear in the trip meter. There's a guy in San Bernardino county somewhere named Victor Rocha who rebuilds them if that is the case for less than replacement cost. The unit is held on by four bolts that require a weird E-5 socket; a reverse torx nut that he will supply to you.

As Klaus suggested, sounds like a DIM issue....is it an 03 MY?

If this is about your 2002, it could be a bad DIM. Trickle charge the battery overnight to ensure a full charge and try again tomorrow. A revised DIM is not cheap:
