I'm not too sure what's wrong with the car, but sometimes it doesn't start up right away. This usually only happens when it's cold or if I haven't driven it for some time. What happens is that it just clicks when I turn the key, but if I do it a second time, it usually starts up. Also, after it starts up, the light flickers on my gauge a little. Most of the flickering light is coming from the part that shows the gas and temperature, but after I drive the car for a little it doesn't flicker anymore. I think maybe the starter or ignition is bad, but not sure. Anyone know what's wrong?

I thought it was the battery at first, but I just had it changed about a month ago. There was corrosion on the terminals, but I changed them too.

is it just your gauge lights? try having your headlights on or something and see if it gets them too.

Looks like its only the right side of the gauge lights.
