Default Anyone ever seen cluster behavior like this?

Car has been asleep for hours...........gauges both every second or so click with slight movements, used to be only when wake up, have swapped another cluster and does the same thing............

Really could use some help here, been fighting this phenomenon for months now, replaced alternator, battery is new, power issues first suspects have all been cleared so what now???

Yes, I did but that being said, all I did was plug it in and never did turn the key on or attempted to do anything else with it.

Did you name your E60 Christine? I haven't seen a cluster do that.

Been thinking something like that as well but then there should be an error message(fault code) to that effect I would think..........
