Default Electrical & Cluster Problem, HELP!

I have an 03 Neon se, its been acting up with electrical problems. In the mornings or if its been sitting ( i would say 6hrs or more) gives me a hard time starting. Car Wont crank over, lights inside go out when i turn the key. Battery is good, autozone tested it, dealer tested it a few months back at the time they reflashed the PCM.They said they couldnt find anything wrong.. When i jump it , car starts right up, Anyways Headlights come on, radio turns on, But when i turn the lights on, the cluster lights and the radio turn off..And just yesterday the needle on the cluster went all the way around so its below 0MPH point. I see the needle jump when i turn the key, but since the little resting bar is in the way it wont go up.. Need help??

Classic symtoms of a dirty ground cable. Clean the battery terminals. Clean the batt negative to engine, batt neg to body, engine to firewall. Then see how it works.
