Dash Intermittent while driving

[KPW]

Thanks for all the info everyone. I had a brief moment to check on some of the low-hanging fruit today.

Voltage key-off is ~12V, key-on is ~14.2V.

I have a quick disconnect on the negative battery terminal, and I had used it to cut power while I replaced the headlight gear bushings this weekend. When I checked it today, it was about a quarter-to-half turn loose...

Did a few quick checks, and the car seems relatively happy now.

Will have to confirm with a more extended drive, but I may be giving myself the dummy award this time around.

Nothing dumb about having the Battery Disconnect Switch
I have the Battery Disconnect Switch on ALL ZR-1s (Negative Terminal) with easy access barely opening the hood

It's always the simple things that get you. Even professional technicians have a tendency to jump to conclusions when the simple answer is staring them in the face, don't feel bad.

Btw, 12 volts on a resting battery is on the low side. Should be more like 13 volts. I would have that battery checked anyway.
