Zack made it home. I?m very confident his ignition power is intermittently cutting out. Given that a key cycling ?fixes? it it?s focus on the ignition key cylinder and the wiring to it.

When he said he was losing the gauge cluster but not the radio or hvac I confirmed this could be a mistaken interpretation of the situation because at night when the lights are turned on the radio and hvac buttons are illuminated regardless of key position or ignition state whereas the gauge cluster backlights only come on when ignition is on (exception for the cluster center LCD which illuminates with just headlight switch)
