If you're seeing the gauges sweep all the way to one side, then back, it's usually your battery going bad. Could be alternator I suppose not charging. But usually it's the battery.

I agree with 92merc, You may also want to check your ground connections. Over time corrosion will prevent a proper connection. Another simple check could be the fusible link on the positive wire by using an ohmmeter. I have had instances where a vehicle lost electricity gradually because of a deteriorating fusible link or wire. As always try the simple things first before digging into costly repairs.
