I do not think that is normal. I believe under the dealer techstream software there is some sort of instrument cluster tests for this. I would love to see a video.

Well the ol’ techstream didn’t reveal anything.

imterstingly, if you pull the GAUGE fuse and then turn the key on, the needles will jump and do a sort of half-sweep before dropping back to 0.
