Concur with John and others - check your fuse box first. I had a fuse with hairline crack in it, gave exactly the same kind of symptoms where my insturment gauges would just quit then come back normally and when they quit, other lights would dimly come on in the dash due to ground loops where non working instruments were trying to draw current wrong path.
