strange electrical problem
I have a 2006 F-150 with less than 40,000 miles.
Recently part of the electrical system goes dead for a while.
The gauge cluster, radio A/C die right after the ABS light flashes.
After a few seconds it cycles back on and may/may not do it again.
usually takes about 20 minutes of run time before it happens.
Sometimes the check battery light comes on, but not always.
I have had the battery/alternator checked 2x, both guys said they are OK.
Also the bright lights no longer come on, the #35 fuse is good and the blue dash indicator comes on, just not brights.
Any thoughts or things to check?

X3 check ALL the ground points and if that still does not do it I had some what the same problem with my high beams and turn signals not working from time to time and I had a couple of broken wires in my main wiring bundle and that was a PITA to find. Good luck

Just got my wife's expedition out of the shop for a lot of the same problems. It was a short in the instrument cluster, sounds like yours hasn't completely shorted out yet, but is headed that way. Took them 3 days to find the problem but only a couple of hours to fix it. Good luck.
