Weird electrical? issue....
2005 F150 Screw, 5.4 Lariat,
Lately I've been having this issue sometimes where the gauges all go to zero, all warning light are on or blinking and the message centre will be blinking, at the same time the A/C will stop blowing cold air. All this while driving down the road, A/c still blows just not cold. It will usually go away in a minute or so. What could be causing this?

You are developing an open circuit . The load is breaking down a connection . Your ac clutch is probably dropping out . Lose dirty grounds . Corroded connections ground and/or 12vdc positive . It can be found with a voltage drop test under load .
You have grounds on frame and motor --clean all . You have grounds in left and right kick panels . Your frame may be heavy rusted. Not everybody is good at finding the area of problems .
Example you have a lead that is carrying current , if you put a voltmeter from one end to the other it should show very little drop.
It ideally should read zero volts .1 volt would be a lot of drop .
