electrical

the only way the cluster could cause this is if the a/c was turned on before starting the car and somehow the battery light failed to illuminate[before turning to start position].then the alternator would not be getting exciter current and would not charge.this is unlikely but easy to check.much more probable that a/c straining the friendship with the grounds on the car.
