Check fuses and relays--load test battery and check wiring/connections for breakage or damage --also test starter may be pulling to many amps --still i would lean toward battery try boosting --

I can start my car and all my gages work fine. speedometer,RPM,s ,Fuel, and temp. I can turn on my lights or heater and the gages start jumping all over. The indicator lights and shift indicator lights...

This problem drove me crazy for 2 weeks. Then the car just stopped running. It would turn over but it would not fire. I replaced the crank and camshaft sensors. That did nothing. I replaced the ignition switch and the car started right up. So if your dash indicator lights start doing a light show for you and your gages jump around or just stop working. Try replacing the ignition switch.

Lights started flickering battery light came on Dash lights and gages went crazy now wont start

Like you said, battery may be flat. You can check that with a multimeter.

Next check the alternator. Faulty alternator leads to uncharged battery.
