Help!! Electrical woes!!

So I get in my X today and she fires right up as usual... Then the battery light started blinking then stayed on... Then I hear a click and all my stock gauges go out my window and lock switches don't work and my radio doesn't work... Battery light stays on and all signals work as do the mirrors and everything else... I turn the truck off then back on it all comes back on.. 15-20 seconds later I hear the click and all the same stuff is off again.... No seemingly applicable fuses are blown... And the behavior is repeatable... Ideas?

It almost sounds like a relay or maybe ignition switch

Hooked up my AE and I was getting over 16 volts so I changed out the alternator since the voltage regulator is inside and now I'm getting a steady 14.2 volts and everything works fine now... Thanks for your help

There is a circuit breaker in the fuse box that I would surmise is for that exact situation...
