Default Odd power problem.

So I was driving down the freeway and out of the blue the dash goes dead. Speedo and tach go flat. Then come back on with every light on the dash. dash lights go out after 1-2 seconds and everything is fine. Happened 3 times now. Twice while driving and once when I just pulled up and stopped at work parking lot.

Has this happened to anyone else or anyone have any thoughts????? Any info would be much appreciated

My brother's WS6 had that problem. Turned out that some circuit in the dash cluster was bad. He had to have it sent out to a place in the SF Bay Area that repairs them.
