Electrical problem
2005 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

when I start my car it bogs for a second like the battery is going bad and my gauge insterments shake
I hear a clicking sound for about 10 seconds then it snaps out of it and works fine. the clicking sound seems to be coming from behind my rpm gauge but the fuel and temp gauges are doing the same thing. if I just turn the ket to on the gauges act fine and I dont hear the clicking noise.
if my battery is going dead could it cause the gauges to act wierd and what is that clicking noise I hear behind the gauges

A draw is placed on the system when the key is in the cranking sposition. Starter may be a problem, wiring...I would first check the battery and connections. A 2005 battery can be ready for replacement.
