Intermittent Dashboard Failure

Once every few days as I'm driving the dashboard will go nuts. Speedo, tach, gas, oil, etc. will peak for a few seconds then drop to 0, battery and other indicator lights will all light up, and the radio and/or heat/ac cluster will shut off. Then, after a brief period anywhere from ten seconds to a minute, everything will return to normal.

I don't see a pattern at all.

Can someone suggest a cause and possible fix?

Thank you.

I have the same problem with my 2003. I think it is related to water / moisture getting into the vents and into one of the wiring harness. I don't have any problems in the winter. As soon as I start using the A/C or there is a heavy rain it acts up again.

Thank you for the reply. That is interesting. I'll have to see how it acts now that the colder weather will be moving in.
