Question Instrument Custer going crazy

After the engine warms up and I drive a few miles, all the lights in the instrument cluster start to flicker. It seems that I also lose power steering at the same time. This condition will stop after a few miles and then starts up all over. Any suggestions?

The battery connections are good, 14 volts. I was wondering if the problem could be the transmission computer under the dashboard? Have you had any experience with this?

Can you describe exactly how you confirmed that the battery connections are good?

the battery voltage might be good but the connection to the car might not be.
