If the car drives OK, I'd wait to see if it goes away.....;)

I think I might have an electrical issue to be honest because my gauges have been bugging out as well

Is the car giving you and code(s)?

You might try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to see if it straightens itself out .... ;)

No code it stays illuminated for a few seconds after I start the car then goes away I haven't noticed anything different in the steering feel either

You might try moving the steering wheel lock to lock several times.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery to re-set the system?

You mentioned "other gauges bugging out". How so?

Well some times they won't turn on until I've been driving for awhile my boost and afr gauge tht is almost like there not getting enough power and once the battery charges a bit they pop right back on

Jack up the car and check underneath.

You might have pulled a cable so it is loose etc..
