(Electrical Problem) - Infiniti g35 Coupe - Dash Flickering?

I just bought a 2005 Infiniti g35 coupe. Has 35,000 miles on it. Ok so, this morning when I turned my car on, the dash was all flickering. Like where it shows the temperatures. Also the little lights in the buttons on my dash were all flickering. About half way to work the flickering stopped. After worked I turned it on and it wasn't flickering..so I have no idea what's happening. I live in Florida, but this morning it was 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe it has something to do with the cold? I have no idea. If anyone has any clue what's going on, please post! Thanks

Check your battery first. Its the most inexpensive route. I have a feeling it could be tjat.. And as Shane mentioned, check the grounding of your wires. I.e. wires bolted down to the frame and engine.

That sometimes happens to be when I have the dash LED brightness dimmed, but never when the headlights are on. It never flickers until the next morning, when my headlights are no longer on (set to auto). When I turn the dimmer dial back up to full, the flickering goes away.

I think this is what mine does.

It's kind of annoying, but since I can stop it from flickering by turning the dimmer dial, I haven't bothered to get it dealt with.
