Dash lights going crazy all the gauges are going crazy and the headlights will go on/off randomly. The battery will not stay charged. The battery and alternator are good. Radio, heater, ac, doors, windows, locks work intermittently. No engine codes. All fuses good.

The crazyness can be caused by a weak battery. If both the alt and battery check good, then you need to check the fusible link between the battery and alt. If it is bad, the alt can't charge the battery.
